    If you are using only Docker, you don’t need a Linux distribution at all. Just install alpine slim, busybox, or any Kubernetes worker node build.

    Flatpak, much like snap, appimage, and other programs trying to shove old, hole-ridden libraries down my throat under the pretext that “the build is too complex,” is not the kind of software I would welcome on my PC. I’d rather build the application by hand.

    Not only with intervals but also with quite old software. Sometimes software versions are so old that they are no longer compatible with the upstream version. Although, to be honest, I haven’t used Debian for so long that I can’t even name the applications that lagged behind like that.

    In general, Debian is indeed incredibly stable, but if you need to install it on the latest laptop (for example, Intel Core Ultra X9), it will be a real hell.

    UPD: except perhaps for using sid. But then you lose the only advantage - stability.

    Because of the Wayland architecture, you simply cannot do it differently. Because Wayland is not a window manager, but a subsystem for working directly with video. This is not a new X11 server, it’s a different architecture. Therefore, by default, no matter where you choose, the render will be output to tty0 of your main server. You have only 2 options - use Wolf as is or manually assemble https://github.com/games-on-whales/gst-wayland-display and limit it to one video card via systemd. gst-wayland-display literally forcibly transfers the render not to tty0, but immediately to the stream for Moonlight.

    So it’s not that Wolf is too complicated, it’s just that what you want is a rather complicated case.

    UPD: although it is possible that you will be able to do this using wlheadless-run, but this will most likely be worse in terms of performance compared to gst-wayland-display. Although for a simple KDE session, I think there is no difference.

    UPD2: I checked and, as I thought, regular applications will get along fine if you run them through wlheadless-run, but everything that requires vulkan may break. it’s the same with video cards. Simply specifying primary will not guarantee the use of a fixed card. But just for office work, I think it will be fine. however, as soon as the case starts to go beyond the standard, everything will start to break down if you have more than one GPU.
