let's say someone wanted to make a super bare bones window manager, one that doesn't even support tiling, basically runs an application directly on X11 with no windowing or decorations, and you can switch between applications by using shortcuts or by launching a dedicated app that basically shows all running apps as tiles, possibly doubling as a start menu where you can click on the tiles of unopen apps and they will launch. this would be intended for tablets and HTPCs, running native linux apps and PWAs through a basic Chromium browser. Is there something like that already? and how hard would it be to add some sort of transitions between apps (or transitions between the apps and the menu) and ensure it supports HDR and smooth fonts?
It sounds like CWM is what you are looking for.
Except without the container, in my opinion.
Flatpak's use many of the same kernel isolation that a container engine like podman or docker use but worse.
Generally I hear bubblewrap, considered sandboxing. Rather than being containerized. I'm guessing the distinction is that it's made in their own invisible temporary namespace. Which things are bind mounted into, to have them work. And are included or excluded, depending on whether you want them to have access.
Where a normal container is just a chroot, but with further isolation. At least generally speaking.
If you want a lightweight way to improve isolation between the applications you are using using bubblewrap, or firejail, are good ways to do it. If you know what you are doing.
I was just listening to lundukes latest video. The one about the un and open source.
And something occurred to me all of a sudden. With the thing about Asians being mentioned. Because Asians are excluded from being considered "minorities" in this dei stuff.
The thought. Is trannies are by far over represented in tech, and open source related jobs. So by their own logic. They should be excluded from being considered disadvantaged.
I wonder if people started pushing the idea that trannies should be excluded from dei, in tech. How that would go. People would have to do it all over the place.
