I agree. Never got on with the idea that I'm not in control of the window size (and many apps don't like it either). That said, I love to have manual tiling capabilites, i.e. keybord shortcuts that will resize a window to exactly 1/2 or 1/4 of screen size, move it to the left/right/up/down, maximise etc. I hate grabbing windows with the mouse to move them around, or resize them. That and workspaces, is all I need for a good workflow. > I thought Gnome 3 and Cinammon were disasters. Yeah. The good old Windows XP paradigm of Gnome 2 was - well, good enough, but it seems the devs always want to keep up with current development to appeal to the masses, but forget to make it stable and immutable enough (because that's the nature of Linux, that you can change everything) to be "like Windows". That said, plenty of alternatives exist. --=-AjNZU1LRnTqUQTEeBtlb Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html><head></head><body><div>On Mon, 2022-02-14 at 07:34 +0000, Peter wrot= e:</div><blockquote type=3D"cite" style=3D"margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2= px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>I don't get on with tiling window m= anagers, they are just too much work and too intrusive.</div></blockquote><= div><br></div><div>I agree.
