mastodon linux nerds: what's the simplest/easiest/least-frills way to get a full screen chromium kiosk running under x11?
use case: playing videos on my TV
x11 required because chromium doesn't really support wayland, and since chromium is the only app running, it makes sense to run it under x11 natively rather than xwayland
I already have it working under a barebones xfce4 desktop, but there's an annoying 8 second delay between the desktop session starting and chromium starting which I don't particularly care to spend the effort tracing down
tried to run chromium bare with no window manager, but this way it only wanted to occupy half the screen and I couldn't figure out how to make it actually size to the full screen dimensions
