Part of the DRM is that it's going to insist on a secure path to the display. It has the video decrypted in the gpu and sent directly to a secured HDMI port.

Now whatever you do, don't go out and buy a cheap chinese HDMI-> USB 3 adapter that lies about its secure status...

With an OLED, staring at a fullscreen png that's all black is the same as turning the screen off.

I have to remember to use tldr, one of these days. Some manpages get so lost in the pedantry of covering everything that the 99 percentile stuff is buried.

Surely, you could add a --user remote without a problem?

I've done pretty much that, by way of debootstrap. It's a fun way to set up a system.

I think that live-task-non-free-firmware-pc (gotta have the nonfree apt.sources tho), linux-image-amd64, sudo, and systemd-timesyncd are just enough to get started. Then add gdm3(which pulls in a bunch of gnome), and a terminal (I like kitty & ptyxis).

I think the problem with xournal is that it cannot ask a file portal to give it access to two related files at once. "I want to let the user pick foo.pdf.xournal, and also give me access to foo.pdf". So the next best thing is to give it the "access any damned file" permission, and let Xournal grab whatever it wants. You get the same problem with video players - you could take away their permission to open-any-file, but then they won't be able to pick up a related subtitle file.
