Seriously, is it just me or is software quality getting worse? It is now, buggier and slower. What is going on? 🤔

@nixCraft I've been using for 20 years (now using ). It's still lean and mean when used "vanilla". However, if I enable the autocomplete, autocompile, auto spellcheck, treesitter, folding, etc. then it noticeably takes up CPU as I type. I don't mind paying some CPU for this...

But for eyecandy I really couldn't care less. Loved my keyboard only setup. When I switched to I finally gave up fvwm for . Happily, kde is lean and fast even with eye candy...

🚦🚥 ... ok it works 🌋

A super-simple keyboard for .

Well, I did have to fiddle with the keymap.

And I had to add delays 🤯👹 (otherwise there are races between keymap changes and keyboard events).

And I had to misuse the extension, cause applications ignore "synthetic" events. 🫥😣

But hey, it works 🕺

Now needs some basic, uhm, "features" (like recently used, like search by name).

v0.5 released!
https://github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/releases/tag/v0.5

This brings a few of the ideas I had:

🔹Add a "single instance" mode (configurable)
🔹Add a "tray icon" (configurable behavior)
🔹Add an "About" dialog
🔹Enforce using Qt's "xcb" platform
🔹Fix detaching on startup, add a flag (-d) to prevent it

Pretty usable as it is I hope ... although one could of course improve a lot (but have you heard of the 80-20-rule?) 🫣

Screenshot from this time, no particular reason, I'm still running here 😎

Well, apart from it seems, there is nothing stable out there for in terms of simple window managers.

So, it's easy to say "X11 must die" when you are using KDE or GNOME or i3, because you don't have to adapt to a new environment.

But if you are a long-term user of other window managers the switch isn't so easy.

What are users of and many others are supposed to do?

Xfce 4 and other Linux desktop managers are popular because of their user-friendly interface and efficient performance, especially RAM usage. Which desktop manager do you use on ?
