With an OLED, staring at a fullscreen png that's all black is the same as turning the screen off.

I have to remember to use tldr, one of these days. Some manpages get so lost in the pedantry of covering everything that the 99 percentile stuff is buried.
Surely, you could add a --user remote without a problem?
Installer.exe is still safe af
I've done pretty much that, by way of debootstrap. It's a fun way to set up a system.
I think that live-task-non-free-firmware-pc (gotta have the nonfree apt.sources tho), linux-image-amd64, sudo, and systemd-timesyncd are just enough to get started. Then add gdm3(which pulls in a bunch of gnome), and a terminal (I like kitty & ptyxis).

I think the problem with xournal is that it cannot ask a file portal to give it access to two related files at once. "I want to let the user pick foo.pdf.xournal, and also give me access to foo.pdf". So the next best thing is to give it the "access any damned file" permission, and let Xournal grab whatever it wants. You get the same problem with video players - you could take away their permission to open-any-file, but then they won't be able to pick up a related subtitle file.
Localsend only does files/pictures/a quickie bit of text, but I find it more convenient and reliable than kdeconnect. Localsend's iphone app is in better shape too, if you need that.
It's one of those Windows features that I would accidentally click once, and then immediately go hunting for how to disable it.
640x480 sounds like the typical fallback if there is no EDID/DDC data and the card is going ahead with the most bare-minimum signal that any screen should accept. Maybe there's dumb state sitting around in the video card. Maybe, because everything is now so smart that it's stupid, the monitor itself is the one remembering weird state. Maybe it doesn't like the text-mode flip or a DPMS command at the end of an update-reboot cycle, so its EDID responder loses the plot. Who the fuck knows what goes on in all this garbage firmware?
Ooh ooh better yet, open up a fullscreen browser with this...
