Well, yes; after all, I have been able to modify even proprietary software to fit my own preferences; but it's clear (and also explicitly stated) that it's supposed to be used mostly as-it-comes.

I can't say I've tried Niri or PaperWM before, but if they're based on GNOME then maybe I'm being a little harsh.

Thanks for the complements!

I definitely agree with you on GNOME being rather opinionated. Perhaps more so than most other DEs.

Anyhow, thanks again for appreciating my input and compliments!
