I've been dabbling with kanshi on sway. I'm interested in digging into this problem, as long as I'm not stepping on anyone else's toes :)

absolutely, we'd appreciate the help. @MatthewCroughan has been leading the charge on the pi image building and has some good context from last year and the challenges.

Kanshi is interesting and I've wanted to use that myself. I hadn't considered it as a solution to this problem, but I suppose it could be! I can try this myself also.

I did a little write up of my experience with Kanshi here: https://blog.rueb.dev/posts/2024-10-01-display-configuration-with-kanshi/

I'll dig into the pi image this week to see how it's all put together. I'm looking forward to learning how everything works.

@ruebenramirez Thank you for taking an interest, I'm sure I'll get to shake your hand at SCALE/PlanetNix, please ping me if you need anything explained/disambiguated.

Hey guys! I have a WIP PR with the general idea of kanshi managing 4k and 1080p displays here: socallinuxexpo/scale-kiosk#8

I still consider myself something of a novice with NixOS, so I'm sure there will be plenty to update in this PR to get it into proper shape. :)
