@Ukko did you know there's a emacs window manager that you can use instead of things like i3 or whatnot

Ukko,
@Ukko@akko.disqordia.space avatar

@vaartis the uhh exwm yeah

@Ukko@akko.disqordia.space avatar

@vaartis have heard it sucks because emacs is inherently single-threaded so if something in emacs decides to block for a while the entire wm hangs

vaartis,
@vaartis@pl.kotobank.ch avatar

@Ukko there is actually multi threading since recently (but it's more like multi processing really)

Ukko,
@Ukko@akko.disqordia.space avatar

@vaartis oh yeah but i think it still had issues with the main loop getting blocked

@vaartis like, specifically in the exwm usecase scenario
