What is the appeal of the 'start menu' in so many desktop environments?
You'll probably like rofi.

Possible to filter clipboard when using `unamedplus`?
Also, I use this script so that Rofi will show my clipboard instead of the native klipper UI (because it's far less keyboard friendly). Normally the script works great, but the script chokes whenever I `dd` an empty line or a lone `\`, putting an empty entry on my clipboard, which the wrapper than assumes means I'm at the end of the list of clipboard entries.

Rofi dry run
Which rofi you run? The original one from https://github.com/davatorium/rofi (which is Xorg base, so it has to start XWayland) or the Wayland-based fork on https://github.com/lbonn/rofi?

What's your recommended launcher app in your opinion?
I like rofi (super flexible, i also use it as a custom alt-tab option in openbox) and wofi is a nice option on wayland

xfce workplace switcher in polybar
Modi are covered in the documentation. They set what Rofi displays in its window. You can run Rofi from a keybind, or a module in Polybar, or by using click handlers. Extremely extensible and versatile. And a shit ton of fun to theme. :)

A sensible NixOS Xfce desktop configuration
xwinmosaic: Having tried XMonad.Actions.GridSelect in the past, I found the 2-dimensional grid more confusing than useful because you cannot intuit where it would lay things out. I find Rofi to be more usable for window switching because it prioritizes text filtering. https://github.com/davatorium/rofi

Some web pages are not loading properly
I am using arch linux. For me github is loading very slow and sometimes web pages are not loading properly. For ex this github repo - https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi keeps on loading and even after loading some images (like the drop down images) doesn't load properly. Only facing this problem with github and no other websites. Tried to go to github on my mobile (jio) and facing the same problem. Anyone having the same problem ?

Day 1 of Linux (arch btw)
Install rofi and copy the scripts you like. Just a 4 examples it can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8w1i3wAKiw just copy any of the zillions scripts and use them: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi the advance of using rofi is that if you switch distro/WM/DE you just copy paste your configuration files (dotfiles) from your existing install to the new one and everything will work like they used to work.

Got this X41 at a flea market for peanuts, with its original dock included. One afternoon and a few upgrades later…
I'd warmly recommend to start learning to use rofi-menu + sxhkd no matter which distro/WM you use, because that combo has endless opportunities even if you just copied the scripts already in Github: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi

my thoughts
After multiseat feels too normal, take a look at rofi-menu. Once you understand it's glory it'll will follow you into any Linux install you make in the future. Scripts ready to use in github: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi
