I’ve had no issues with Dash to Dock, this looks more like an ArcMenu issue to me based on your screenshot.

In the description for ArcMenu they say:

Requires GMenu package:

• Depending on your distro you may need to install ‘gir1.2-gmenu-3.0’, ‘gnome-menus’, or ‘libgnome-menu-3-0’

Have you got that dependency covered?

What other extensions do you have installed? What versions of Ubuntu and GNOME are you using?

I’m not doing this for approval.

Okay. Go away and do it then.

My monitors.xml has two <configuration> blocks, with the only real difference being that one has <layoutmode>physical</layoutmode> and the second has <layoutmode>logical</layoutmode>. I don’t really think that’d be the issue here though, because if the dummy plug is listed as disabled it shouldn’t be trying to use it anyway…?

I think you’re right in reporting it to the GDM repo, at a minimum someone there will know where to point you towards figuring this out. Maybe the GNOME Mutter repo might be a related stop for this too, seeing that’s the part generating the monitors.xml…

The things that are supposed to be simple are always the bits that suck the most!

Yeah, seems like it should just be working…

You’ve probably already got this covered, but when you created your user monitors.xml config, did you have the dummy plug connected and disabled?

Maybe the config:

• has it included as a monitor and enabled as part of the screen layout
• or possibly doesn’t include it at all, and then GDM just assumes it can/should use it as a new option?

When you copy over your monitor config, are you correcting the ownership/permissions?

The little scriptlet I made to combat a previous nvidia/wayland multi-monitor headache boils down to:

sudo cp $HOME/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config/
sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml

Maybe double check if GDM is ignoring wayland as well, I’ve definitely had that happen in the past too.

Yeah, this is probably what OP noticed.

Adwaita Sans is a tweaked version of Inter (the main change was to make lowercase I and L look less similar, IIRC) and then Adwaita Mono is basically Iosevka tweaked to match with Inter.

I use Tauon Music Box on Linux, I think it’s pretty decent, but it is kinda playlist focused.

Yeah, the Forgejo documentation was dreadful when I last looked, it really showed its origin as a Gitea replacement for people already using (and understanding) Gitea.

That’s cool. Any reason why you went with a self-hosted GitHub runner over making the full jump to a self-hosted Gitea instance + runner?

Maybe Linux just isn’t for you, and that’s okay. Go use Windows or Mac and enjoy your “just works” setup and lack of involuntary learning.

What I feel would be acceptable:

If you’re proud of your Framework laptop and want to brag about it, we’ll give you some swag for free that you can show off with when you’re out and about!

What this looked like to me:

If you’re attending a conference we’d be paid to attend, but can’t go to, will you show off your Framework laptop to attendees in an effort to convince them to buy one from us too, and we’ll send you some stickers?

The issue isn’t even what they’re asking for, but how their asking it.

When I last had an everyday carry USB stick (5+ years ago) I found I never actually used it for anything.

I had Ventoy and some practical ISOs, and PortableApps with a bunch of useful software (firefox, foobar2000, GIMP, notepad++…) for when I was using someone else’s Windows PC.

…think I stored like two word documents on it, ever.

I tag metadata on everything with MusicBrainz Picard, and then store it in a /{Album Artist}/{Album}/{Track} hierarchy.
