        I was surprised to learn that

        • a) macOS only recently added Left/Right-tiling natively (without extensions, just like GNOME does)
        • b) they leave gaps when you tile them so that it looks like you messed up the tiling somehow

          so that it looks like you messed up the tiling somehow

          I wish more tiling developers understood this. Gaps between windows looks broken. I don’t mind it being an option, but to me it’s such a weird choice for the default.

        I’m mainly concerned about KDE, android, windows 11, and web shit.

        but yeah now that you say, gtk things too

        Luckily most gui toolkits have a way of disabling CSD. For gtk/libadwaita I recommend something like Gradience to generate a theme with corners of your liking.

          I stumbled over Gradience just yesterday but I tought it was archived sometime last year, is it still working accordingly?

    Every few years I get the customization bug and trick out my desktop. Then things start breaking down slowly. Then I get frustrated and reinstall vanilla gnome, swear off customization forever, and feel better.

    For gaming its Plasma.

    Knowing the default DE’s idiosyncrasies also helps with work – I’m never surprised when I reinstall/install a new machine. Same goes for aliases. No for me, knowing the commands themselves, however cumbersome or verbose, helps me better deal with freshly installed machines.

    Say what you wanna say about tiling wms, but there are good tiling wms like niri, paperwm, hyprland(I love it).

      Same here, improved imprived improved. I have been looking to switch to sway and experimented with qtile (… Wayland is the future yo). One thing that stops from moving is feh. I know wayland has it’s own lightweight, image viewer, background setter. But feh is all in one. The closest thing is imv, but I cant get it to render raw images. (… i am aware feh does work in wayland using xwayland but not natively.)

    I personally do like all the eye candy, especially animations and round borders, but sometimes i do enjoy using compositors without any of that just as a change of pace. I also really like river for example.
