Does anybody know how to set a window always on bottom in rust gtk4? set_type_hint() does not exist.
Can't you still script it with wmctrl and xdotool?

Carpentry gives you the ability to make whatever furniture you want
Why dont you make a table that floats in the air with no legs?
You're looking for gtk4-layer-shell (doesn't work on gnome tho 'cos they hate you (only gnome is like this))
What actually bothers me is when a window opens and takes my keyboard focus away from where I was working. God, I hate what shit.
Or even worse, a dialog window opens locking the rest of the application but itβs under other windows for some reason and I'm like wtf
There was a time when Steam did that like four times.
I know this is pedantic but Linux does give users the free to do this. They just need to add a patch to their desktop and patch their app to make it so.
It gives you the freedom to do that, not the ability
Linux gives users the freedom to keep using x11 :p
They are even free to thanklessly maintain X11 for all the other contrarian fossils, because the developers sure aren't doing it anymore.
There's nothing contrarian in using software that works and and fulfills all your needs.
That's not the same thing as shitposting online about your grievances with Wayland.
It's not.
It brings back your loved ones.
I gladly accept the fossil label, but there's no contrarian sentiment behind it ... I just never felt any pain staying with X11.
Also, the window manager I use is developed by a friend who lives 10min away and texts me every time he has an update, and I love it ... doesn't work on Wayland, though ...
Getting comfortable with legacy software is completely valid as long as you're aware of the potential disadvantages. Shitposting online about it or worse being wrong on the internet are different stories.
Wayland doesn't work for me, I rely on a tablet in lieu of a mouse and under Wayland it's unusable. I tried hard
Under an X session it behaves flawlessly
Did you try it that with Gnome? I heard that some input methods suffered with the wayland transition because mutter makes some weird choices. From my personal experience, libinput works great with a wacom tablet, so I'm assuming you ran into an issue with a specific DE.
I think I tried only Plasma. I will try Gnome thanks for the suggestion

Depends on the wm.
I see this as a feature honestly. Screw apps who try to be different with their special little windows
