To me that does sound like your initramfs just needed recreating, since un/installing a module will do that usually.

how do i do that?

Probably by editing your GRUB config or whatever bootloader you're using.

Here is the EDID

Thanks, that should be enough I'll have a look when I'm free. Also something like get-edid > monitor.bin would probably be easier for me though.

Edit: I've had a look, I can't see any issues. Both checksums validate correctly and it advertises audio support. As you've probably seen in edid-decode, I'd expect it to show as 'SONY TV' (or at least for KDE 'Sony SONY TV' I believe).

I wrote a guide here: stevetech.me/posts/force-enable-vrr-edid

But it was mostly just changing random things and hoping for the best, so YMMV. I hope it helps!

None of my monitors (which are all DisplayPort) have audio, but one appears in the audio settings, so I'd say DisplayPort itself does support audio.

Is edid/sony.bin your new EDID? Does it revert back if you remove drm.edid_firmware all together?

Also, do you mind sharing your EDID? I had to edit mine to get VRR to work, so maybe there's something invalid in yours. It does contain serial numbers though if that's a problem.

I believe the main contributor for drm_panic wants to add one eventually. Here's what it might look like:

Also it looks like the colours are configurable at compile time (with white on black default).

For electron, if ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT and electron-flags.conf don't work, you can also add --ozone-platform-hint=wayland to the end of Exec in each .desktop file (also works on Chromium, ~~but not CEF AFAIK~~ and sometimes CEF).

There's also --ozone-platform-hint=auto if you find yourself switching between X11 and Wayland.

but I can't figure out which of the "0000:00:whatever's" correlate to my Bluetooth card

lspci will list your PCI devices and their ID, but if it's a combo WiFi & Bluetooth card, they usually use PCIe for WiFi and USB for Bluetooth.

I think it mostly relies on Glaxnimate for graphics and stuff, which supports most SVG and Lottie animations.

So there's not really a library, but things aren't hard to find.

Online screen recorders already exist too, I also don't think it really needs any server side logic either.

I don't know anything that can do an in-place ext4 conversation, but there's ntfs2btrfs which is already in the Debian repos if you're okay with BTRFS.

Of course, backup anything important, ntfs2btrfs should create a backup snapshot if you need to revert back to NTFS, but I wouldn't count on it.

Just curious, what parts aren't open source? At a glance it seems like they're working on supporting self hosting and I couldn't find any binaries.
