    Left monitor: theory

    Right monitor: geometry dash

    Play geometry dash -> take a break -> read theory -> take a break -> 🔁

    I’m really liking this loop :3


    One suggestion I have is an optional, guided prompt at the end of each resource/section, like “what are the 3 main points?” or “what is [thing] and why does the author argue against it?”. I find it quite alarming when I read all the words but feel I missed the big ideas (regardless of whether it has my undivided attention). I think that those prompts would help retrain my mind to read the text actively and digest it better ^^

    Edit: On second thought, “guided prompts” really just sounds like another name for homework, which im unsure if you really intend on having in your reading list… up to you :D


















  • I dug even deeper and installed Weston to see how seats are configured. Turns out this is done by attaching a udev property to the device called WL_SEAT, which libinput uses to make logical seats, which Weston uses for seat management. See: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/device-configuration-via-udev.html

    Note: your udev filter (the ones with ==) matters!! I thought I could re-use the filter generated from loginctl (i.e. ENV{ID_FOR_SEAT}=="..."). This led to several confusing hours where I could set ENV{ID_SEAT} but not ENV{WL_SEAT}. Follow the docs above and you’ll be fine.

    Once I got it working in Weston, I tried it on Plasma, and got my answer: no, Plasma Wayland does not currently support multi-cursor.

    It looks like the best solution in our case will be to use the Plasma X11 session. I was able to reinstall the x11 session on my pc and tested multi-cursor there, and it seemed to work as expected.

    If the X11 session is too unstable, I guess Weston is there as a backup.
