I'd noticed on apps with Client side decoration that if they blocked on something they were much more of a pain - you can't move the window like you could when they had a window manager driven title bar. This is much more of a pain than not redrawing or responding for a few seconds.
I'm seeing it in Thunderbird's matrix client as it's syncing.

Shout out to Drew aka @… who just introduced his Butterknife project and iso. Used his xfce spin briefly before, but was anxiously waiting for the window manager version. Great stuff, Drew, just watched the YT vid about it. I'll certainly have a go at that Qtile one. And dwm of course ☺️ Thanks 👍🏻

The vibrant landscape. I can't give it up. So many exciting things happening:
- RakuOS: immutable bootc image, but with a normal package manager. And Cosmic.
- Project Bluefin: the Dakota alpha is out, which is based on Gnome OS. So no more distro involved, pure Gnome as the basis.
- Butterknife: as mentioned yesterday Debian Stable, btrfs snapshots and a number of window managers to choose from (Qtile, Awesome, dwm, Sway, SwayFX, i3). Plus good looks and many, many script…
