Still figuring things out here. In the world, I mean.

Turns out this was my goof. I was trying to set up auto-login on my user account. In doing so, I set it to automatically log in to Plasma (X11) instead of Plasma (Wayland). Odd that the default option in that dropdown is not the one you’re currently using, but 🤷♂️.
What I’m now trying to figure out is why I can’t set auto-login for Plasma (Wayland). The Apply button is disabled. 🤔
Thanks to everyone who shared ideas.
HDMI switcher is an interesting idea. Will it do more than just forward on the EDID? (Hope I have that right. 😅) Will it sorta translate it and push out its own EDID?
The cable is one of the two cables that previously completed the chain between the display and computer. Could it still be a problem in spite of that?
I found a solution that seems to be working. Forgot where I saw this, or I’d give credit. Maybe StackOverflow?
Anyway, the solution was to write a separate shell script for my keymaps with a sleep 2
at the top. The, I run it as a startup application with this command: /bin/bash -c "sh /home/me/.keymaps.sh"
Apparently, the desktop environment must be loaded in order for the keymaps to take, so having it in my profile was running the command too early.
When I saw this, I thought it sounded really cool! That is, until I remembered that I literally never touch my Windows machine except for gaming, so, unless I’m going to try to play two games at once (spoiler: I’m not), I will unfortunately never have a use for this. 😅
