How to use only part of the screen on wayland? (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello,

I'm trying to get kwin-wayland to use just a part of my monitor, with X11 I did it with xrandr, but I'm not sure how to best do that with Wayland.

I have a messed up monitor and using only the bottom right corner makes it more acceptable, but for that I need no pixel lit on the top left corner.

Thanks for any hint!

there was a python thingy that emulated randr for wayland, can't remember the name. I'm using it to switch resolutions.

edit: found it, gnome-randr on github (?). not sure your thing will work, though.

I have looked at gnome-randr (and gnome-randr-rust just in case) but I did not see anything related, although I could have missed it. It's interesting that a gnome project would work with kwin, I would have not thought, thanks for that!

nah, I'm a moron, didn't see what community I'm in... haven't tried it in plasma.
