• Headless monitor support on Wayland Linux

Ooo that's awesome to hear. Now I've gotta figure out scripting my external displays to disable on connect and reenable on disconnect.

It looks like mainly a Hyprland fix (and maybe some wlroots based compositors). The old method still works with sway for me, and there's a another approach using a virtual edid that should work everywhere, but perhaps not with Nvidia cards (see here: https://discuss.kde.org/t/how-to-create-a-virtual-monitor-display/2725/5).

I'm not sure if Plasma or Gnome have any support for headless monitors outside of the EDID method.
