This reminds me of when pulseaudio came on the scene. Bizarrely there was a short period when PA was superior to everything else. I could set per source and per sink volumes. It was bonkers. The perfect mixer. Then something else happened.

Don’t know what the deal is with Linux desktop experience. I have encountered various forms of perfection and had them taken away.

Once on my XPS M1330 I clicked to lift a window and then three finger swiped to switch workspace and the workspace switched and I dropped the window. It was beautiful. I didn’t even notice until after I’d done it what an intuitive thing it felt like.

Then a few years later I tried with that fond memory and it didn’t work. Where did the magic go?

Probably some accidental confluence of features broken in some change.
