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?

    I use scripts that change my display setup (xrandr), the active latte profile and my audio output.

    The command to switch the latte profile

    qdbus org.kde.lattedock /Latte org.kde.LatteDock.switchToLayout Monitors

    You can just create a profile for every scenario once and switch between them.

      Not seen this before, I’ll give it a go. Thanks for the suggestion.

      Does xrandr work on Wayland? I thought it was an X11 tool. That would be so cool, I use it to change the brightness on my laptop’s monitor when KDE’s gui thing stops working (after sleep, I think). I think I looked for a replacement for Wayland but did not find anything a while back
