How X11 is started

In the following example, sddm will be used as a display manager. The process is however similar for other display managers in nixpkgs and a summary that applies to all nixpkgs display managers is given at the end.

1. Systemd unit "display-manager.service" starts services.x11.displayManager.job.execCmd (the display manager)

   Code reference: <nixpkgs>/nixos/modules/services/x11/xserver.nix

2. services.x11.displayManager.job.execCmd is set to the path of the sddm binary from the sddm package in the nix store. So SDDM will start and read its configuration from /etc/sddm.conf.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
