For a privacy conscious company such as Apple, turning off Bluetooth when not needed should be encouraged. Keeping it on 24/7 makes you trackable, you're broadcasting a unique identifier.

The way I did it was to run Weston without any icons or anything and using systemd to start my app and also having systemd reopen my app if it closes. Worked well enough.

Which x64 machines have you been using? I'm looking for a successor to PC Engines APUs

I like to develop with VS Code and devcontainers. I've never been able to get that setup to work with podman as the backend. Has anyone successfully done this or perhaps know of a blog detailing how to accomplish this that I haven't been able to find?

Never programmed with Wayland (or X) before but this doesn't look so terrible. Let's say I want to do something only slightly more complicated than this article, e.g. have a few static rectangles on the screen showing images and text, without any window decorations, like for a status bar or a clock or something. If I don't want to roll my own protocol-handling code as in this article, what libraries are good? In say Rust or Go or something? Every time I've looked into Gtk or Qt they seemed way too complicated, doing far more than I want and introducing too many abstractions and dependencies. Conceptually all I want to do is:

    window = make_stupid_simple_undecorated_window(x, y, w, h);
    paint_window(window, some_image_buffer);
    block_forever();

Can someone please make a window manager that fits linux? Flat, no animations, super performant, no rounded corners, no shading, pixelated icons. Never understood how all the linux desktops are so ugly and laggy
