For day-to-day, I agree. But it's nice when I've junked up my WM or its libraries and need an easy way to reinstall good packages... :) > a graphical session with a fullscreen terminology gives the same > effect/result just with a lot of added bonuses. hell terminology runs in a vt > (but won't control backlight due to that needing infra that needs root > access). Is there a way to force terminology to open a specific /dev/tty? I just tried to replace agetty in getty@.service with terminology. It almost works. But it doesn't pick up the active terminal. The process runs, but nothing is drawn. (I'm not saying this a good idea, terminology is scary to run as root. But still, would be a fun trick.) > at some point the kernel probably needs to wire up backlight to kms. also ddc > controls probably need to be wired up with that too. you know e can control > monitor backlights just like it controls your laptop internal screen > backlight? > you can adjust brightness of each external monitor individually and e will > also... fade these in and out to/from min to max etc. alongside your laptop > internal backlight... :) it's lout of the box if you have libddcutil > installed. I saw you mention this, but haven't had a chance to try it. Been testing without docking. Definitely a cool feature though.
