From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What dock do you use in Wayland? (lemmy.one)

I moved over to Wayland full time a couple of weeks ago (using KDE on Arch). I have finally rid myself of any X11 hangups apart from one. Latte will NOT respect my primary screen when changing monitor arrangement (ie. turning my projector on and off) and seems to randomly pick a screen to call the primary.

Soooo, as I'm considering a change....what dock in Wayland works for you? Is there anything as good as Latte in X11?

Maybe you can set up a KWin window rule to force Latte to be where you want it to be?

Not that Plasma panels work that much better than Latte in that regard, they still sometimes shift monitors just because something is plugged in (not even enabled, just plugged in!)

I really wish we could pin things to the exact monitor via its physical port location or serial number or something from EDID.

Thanks for the suggestion. This does work. You can force the dock to a specific screen, but then it doesn't autohide (dodge) as it still thinks the other random screen is the primary and only triggers off that. Still, this may be the answer if nobody can suggest an alternative.
