@49016@mastodon.catgirl.cloud what in the name of hatsune miku is this abomination
and how do i install it -
tl;dr of how this clusterfuck works: this is effectively just x11 forwarding an x server from windows to linux. the fun part is a) making gnome run with an already existing window manager (namely dwm.exe lol), b) making gnome run over x11 forwarding (it is Not a fan, last time it tried running gnome on windows this is what broke it and made it quit trying), and c) actually ripping out parts of the gnome compositor again to make dwm instead of gnome render window decorations to achieve ✨aero gnome✨
@49016 This is cursed (positive)
-
@49016 Hol'up, you can do that?? Using Wine I take it?
Does...does Wine just implement the things dwm.exe needs to use, including the "let it do compositing of other apps' windows" stuff, so it all just Works??
@49016 makes me want to get Windows 7 somehow and play around
maybe we should buy a disc assuming those are a thing
*looks up discs* oof $40 is a bit expensive
(also huh a lot of these are OEM discs. And the OEM discs are cheaper. I wonder if those would work.)
-
also, to prove that yes, gnome really manages these windows: here's paperwm, the scrolling wm gnome extension, running on windows 7 (albeit really slow because starting paperwm completely jams the x11 tunnel for some reason lmao)
fixed a bunch of issues that made this extremely laggy and, uh, this just kinda works now
the entire "making a tiling window manager out of a desktop environment" is already cursed on linux, it gets really cursed when it goes paperwm -> gnome -> windows 7 dwm
this is surprisingly usable though

@49016 that one's forbidden magic never ceases to amaze

@xerz fun fact! windows 10+ does wayland
windows 7 does not which made this especially fun

@49016 A small price to pay for good window decorations.

@valpackett @xerz tbf yes they use dirty hacks to make it work but at the end of the day they ship a system that shows wayland clients on windows 11 :p
