@f0x this is why I use only a window manager, with no desktop system nor icons.
Perhaps I also have issues with attention when it comes to visual overstimulation.
@doubleDensity i do quite like my systems to be minimal, bspwm with a custom bar (no tray!)
my other mood though is holding super+tab and just seeing windows flash by too fast to actually perceive, thanks brain
@doubleDensity i got to a state where most my utility scripts, bar, etc aren't too tightly coupled to the WM, so they adapted well going from i3, to dwm, to herbstluftwm and now bspwm
perhaps one of these days i'll check out one of the wayland tilers again but eh
