I created an extra button via plugin in power menu.
extends Plugin
func _ready() -> void:
OS.set_environment("FULLSCREEN", "1")
logger = Log.get_logger("DocMAX Custom Plugin", Log.LEVEL.INFO)
var library: Library = load(plugin_base + "/core/library.tscn").instantiate()
add_child(library)
await get_tree().process_frame
_add_xfce_button()
func _add_xfce_button() -> void:
var vbox = get_node("/root/CardUI/AlwaysVisibleContent/PowerMenu/PanelContainer/MarginContainer/VBoxContainer")
var button_scene = load("res://core/ui/components/card_button.tscn")
var xfce_button = button_scene.instantiate()
xfce_button.text = "Switch to XFCE"
var cancel_idx = vbox.get_child_count() - 3
vbox.add_child(xfce_button)
vbox.move_child(xfce_button, cancel_idx)
xfce_button.button_down.connect(_on_xfce_switch)
func _on_xfce_switch() -> void:
var output := []
logger.info("Running XFCE4")
OS.execute("/usr/local/bin/steamos-session-select", ["plasma"], output)
It's my custom script of course. It's just the idea how to add a button to the power menu. I use XFCE4 because i have KISS and lightweight in mind.
Proposed change for testing:
extends Plugin
func _ready() -> void:
OS.set_environment("FULLSCREEN", "1")
logger = Log.get_logger("DocMAX Custom Plugin", Log.LEVEL.INFO)
var library: Library = load(plugin_base + "/core/library.tscn").instantiate()
add_child(library)
await get_tree().process_frame
_add_plasma_button()
func _add_plasma_button() -> void:
var vbox = get_node("/root/CardUI/AlwaysVisibleContent/PowerMenu/PanelContainer/MarginContainer/VBoxContainer")
var button_scene = load("res://core/ui/components/card_button.tscn")
var plasma_button = button_scene.instantiate()
plasma_button.text = "Switch to Desktop"
var cancel_idx = vbox.get_child_count() - 3
vbox.add_child(plasma_button)
vbox.move_child(plasma_button, cancel_idx)
plasma_button.button_down.connect(_on_plasma_switch)
func _on_plasma_switch() -> void:
var output := []
logger.info("Switching to Plasma Desktop")
OS.execute("/usr/local/bin/steamos-session-select", ["plasma"], output)
The proper way to do this would be to add a platform class for Nobara. The specific session path and syntax is fairly OS implementation dependant. There are a few examples here to work from.

I am not sure how to code for Godot. I will wait for an update. I am willing to provide info to help make the changes tho.
