@icedquinn "the compositor having to do more than it strictly has to" includes window decorations to me

if it's just about giving texture buffers to applications then why do we even have Wayland, and not just use GPU texture copy commands instead? this seems no better than Windows's dwm, or than SurfaceFlinger even

this is such a pain for tiled desktop managers too, because now they need to deal with apps having window decorations which they may not want etc

it's just, all bad really and ensures even more inconsistent graphical app experiences across an already very inconsistent GUI software landscape
