Meh, running free software on the world's worst closed hardware is just....icky. Run it on framework stuff, knowing that Amd stuff is right behind the overhyped m stuff.

Really? You don't want a laptop with shitty keyboard, no ports and glossy fingerprint magnet for a screen? Weird.

Now if only window shading worked, I could ditch #X11 for good.
I am curious, how you use window shading in your workflow?
I use it reflexively, all the time.
Window Shading is a great way to:
- get my windows out of my way when I need to context switch (without switching desktops),
- reply to someone in another window on the same desktop (especially little windows like KDEConnect's SMS, or or Element)
- show or access something on my desktop (icons? widgets?)
- quickly hide the contents of an app from shoulder surfers
It's far more convenient and flexible than minimizing, or switching desktops.
Additionally,
Window Shading is a great way to make sticky windows unobtrusive, while still keeping them top of mind..
Especially true for things like mixers (like pavucontrol) and chat programs.
when i need to reference something in a browser behind my ide, doubleclick on the title-bar is ALWAYS set on ALL my desktops to window shade..
It's invaluable for everyday GUI tasks.
Sure, this might not be everyone's experience, but for those that know and use it, it's a huge miss.
In my case I don't have a choice in the matter, I need to use a Macbook for work so I can run Xcode for iOS apps. I will however have full control over the machine so am going to run Linux on it and only boot macOS when absolutely necessary.
I'm sure more people are like that.
@PureTryOut The irony here is, the first time i ever saw window shading was *on* a Mac. It was an addon app that eventually wasn't available anymore either. When i found it again in Linux (in the late 1900's), i was thrilled.
