Can we bring distinct title bars back to desktop applications?
I don’t even care if you wanna hide the menu under a hamburger, I just want a title bar I can drag around and and resize. Something that clearly shows focus and keeps an app and all its bullshit contained within a clearly defined border.
Welcher Windows-Manager, der für Linux verfügbar ist, kann innerhalb einer laufenden Drag-&-Drop-Operation (d.h. Maustaste ist gedrückt und hat ein Objekt gegriffen) die offenen Fenster mittels Tastenshortcut durchwechseln (damit man das Objekt in das damit nach vorne gebrachte Fenster fallen lassen kann).
MATE kann das wohl nicht.
How can people work with the macOS window manager?!
@simondassow the MacOS window manager is really one of the worst I have ever used.
I strongly prefer to use apps in maximized windows because each app (Blender, Gimp, Emacs, a terminal emulator) has it’s own unique workflow that works best in maximized windows. However when I maximize windows in MacOS and switch between them with the Control-Left/Right arrows, it waits a quarter of a second to animate the screen transition. During this animated transition it drops all keystrokes events.
So I might switch from one app to another and press some keys to do something only to discover that the keys I pressed were ignored because I didn’t wait just long enough for the animated screen transition to finish. When switching to a terminal emulator or Emacs, these dropped keystrokes can actually change the command that I enter by accident, which can (and often does) corrupt data in the files I am working on.
On Linux, all window managers transition between desktop workspaces instantly, even if there is an animation key events are not dropped. It honestly feels like Mac OS is fucking with me, deliberately trying to slow me down when I am trying to get work done.
Yes, I tried to disable the screen animations, it doesn’t seem to be possible. The best I could do was use the fastest transition, which is a fade-in.
i have more #ux opinions on window managers and applications reimplementing tiling in their own guis, but i haven't mulled over it that much yet so... that's a future thread. but essentially i believe, modern window managers are too specialized, forcing application developers and gui toolkit developers to compensate with subpar, restrictive and incosistent interfaces.
this applies to sidebars, panels, modals (though that often does leverage WMs), and "windows" in #emacs (not frames), and whatever #tmux (or gnu screen) is doing. i understand historically why this was the case, these applications originally took over the entire monitor, and thus had to reimplement tiling and window management. but why do modern applications copy this?
i think the answer is restrictive window managers, and the primarily cause of issues being floating window managers. most of the window management in-app is tiling stuff. but i haven't thought or researched too much into this, so i'm not sure.
@eugenialoli @faxe I would still choose Arch, Hyprland and ML4W dot files. Great system, updates on time and a simple environment. #Linux #hyprland #windowmanager #arch

A new #Video https://youtu.be/f57rGhBm3Vk for your #cats on #Debian 12.6 #Server and with #GnomeDesktop 43.9 has been #performance #benchmarked and is ranked 23rd in the #DesktopEnvironment #OperatingSystem #TierList. The bundled #GnomeDesktopEnvironment, #Mutter #WindowManager, and #GDM #DisplayManager all appear to be 1-2 year old versions of the #software. The server performance with 280M Memory Usage, 0 CPU Load, and 1.8G Disk Usage, and 11 second reboot time are not the best.
I am truly grateful for the maintainer to maintain this port. I have tested this window manager before migrating to FreeBSD and it was awesome.

gosh, the Amethyst tiling window manager for macOS is so cool: more power than Magnet and Rectangle, but soo much simpler than yabai. It's right in the middle and possibly sufficient for most people: https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst?tab=readme-ov-file #macos #windowmanager
Looking like #Labwc with #LXQt 2.0.0 might become my daily driver for #Linux #Wayland #WindowManager and #DesktopEnvironment. LXQt doesn't add much, but it auto hides. Hopefully #Waybar will have support to auto-hide in the future. :)
Is it possible to use #gui applications, like #firefox, without a #WindowManager?
Just published my new @tilvids video about IceWM, a minimal stacking window manager for Linux and BSD. I show you how to install, use and customize it.
