(https://github.com/yshui/picom/blob/next/picom.sample.conf)
writing an X11 window manager is ... extremely tedious. have a look at https://github.com/sminez/penrose .

Yeah, I already started developing it. I started with Smallvil and then I also found mwm
Project mention: Sugar: An activity-focused, open-source software learning platform for children | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-065. They each have come up with their own personal projects, so I tailor exercises to help them with problems that they need to solve
I wanted this to be a happy experience, so I have never pushed them, but always challenge them to push themselves. I spend a few hours with them every weekend, then a couple of hours with them mid week to help them with challenges. But that is not how I started. I started with 1 hour first thing every morning Monday to Friday to teach them the basics and get them inspired. If they seemed drained, or I sensed that they needed a break, I just let them have a day off.
We also play erion mud [3] and sometimes hexonyx [4] because I wanted them to understand what a mud is all about and to build up interest. I am really into text-based games, so not surprisingly we play nethack (rogue like) [5]. I am also into interactive fiction and started them off on Adventure [6]. If you are interested in interactive fiction, then you might enjoy reading "Twisty Little Passages - an approach to interactive fiction" by Nick Montfort [7].
Full disclosure, I believe that the main reason I am able to pull this all off is that my wife and I home-school our children. It is a challenge though. Very few families where we are from are similar to us in our philosophy of technology and education.

I have done the exact same thing but for X11, feel free to take a look at the project if you want here, I was very happy with the communication between the client and the wm.
