In the decades-long process of getting my fvwm config JUST RIGHT, my xterm right-click menu now has a "duplicate" command, which opens a new xterm with the same geometry, on the same node, IN THE SAME DIRECTORY. (Directory info aquired via /proc.)
(I expect I'll still be tweaking this when Wayland is but a bad memory and everyone is switching to The New Big Thing.)
@ebassi I don't use Gnome and I'm still in #X11 land on #OpenBSD and my #MLVWM window manager, so I'm just "thinking out loud" here...
Do Gnome apps reliably "do the right thing" if sent a SIGTERM, e.g. confirming quit and/or prompting to save unsave changes, as necessary? If so, maybe write a script (triggered on super-q) to get the PID for the frontmost window's process and then `kill -TERM -p $PID` it?
[arch-announce] Plasma 6.4.0 will need manual intervention if you are on X11
Day 29 of #31DaysOfFreeBSD 
FreeBSD does not include a graphical user interface in its base system. This is how I install and set up the X Window System (X11) before installing my preferred window manager or desktop environment:
Here is my new GNU/Linux distribution guide about Debian KDE 12, the right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024! Also about three major problems with GNU/Linux distros that will drive away all professional artists, IMO, and how I got kicked out of the Fedora KDE ecosystem with F40, which imposed Plasma6 and Wayland. I hope it helps other artists here!

So @gnome is removing the x11 session, leaving just the Wayland one.
If this goes out before Orca, the GNOME screen reader, is fixed to work on Wayland, it will mean that people who rely on screen readers will have no way to use one on GNOME. And thus on the major Linux distributions.
So I’m hoping the plan is that this change will not land until GNOME has a working screen reader.

I've just pushed the implementation of a GUI for calls in the CLI frontend of #Libervia
That means that you have a full-featured #Qt GUI accessible quickly from your #terminal to make or receive your #XMPP calls. Can also be useful to compensate for clients missing A/V calls.
