Sasha is making progress on touchbar support for @AsahiLinux

not in the picture Sasha’s linux drm driver for the display which already confused linux user space: I surely want my desktop displayed on a 2040x60 display

the drm driver works as well and I (re-)discovered one not so terrible use case for touchbar display:
move the kde’s panel to the touchbar, see the mockup in the picture. It’s broken in interesting ways since kde handles it as second display. I got the panel only with tricks to use the full height, applications are not opened on the main display.
It would require integration as auxiliary display.

@janne that is 100% more valid than anything Apple has done with the touchbar!

@siguza I think I would still want it to switch to media and function keys when a modifier key is pressed.

I’m not a macOS user but there is no extension or setting to move the global menu or the dock to the touchbar?
