perfectly sane and normal desktop environment
@49016 this got me wondering if it’d be possible to run dwm.exe under wine as an x11 compositor
-
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 i wonder how much that would break the moment multiple monitors are involved

@49016 You are not sane bro, I liked it XD. Can you do this?

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✨

it saw another windows aero theme for kde. that's cute but it thinks gnome also deserves some love too
anyways here's a gnome desktop composited by the real aero dwm.exe from win7
@49016 this is so cool :o

Does it work with stylix? Has anybody created an expression for it? -
Does it work with stylix? Has anybody created an expression for it?Oh wait, I just read, this is with real dwm.exe, that's crazy x_x

oh no. horrible horrible idea
damn fedi really liked gnome being composited by win7 aero dwm. thats cute but it thinks gnome should also be allowed to do some compositing
anyways heres win7 aero dwm being composited by gnome

- firefox and vscode are rendered by gnome
- the start menu and gadgets are rendered by dwm, and then composited by gnome
- ghostty, which literally goes above and beyond the gadgets (which you cannot do by just streaming one compositor to the other), is rendered by gnome
- and the cherry on top is gnome-control-center, which exclusively runs in gnome sessions, being managed by gnome, rendered by dwm, and composited by gnome again
this is powered by about 7 layers of duct tape and a couple hundred lines of the worst C the world has ever seen

@49016 the subjective opinion of mine, is that this still looks better, and is more accessible than macOS Tahoe. :)

SYN @49016 49016 breaking software was bad, but somehow 49016 creating software is even worse. please continue!
