This looks like a very nice product and it matches exactly something that I've been wanting and thinking about. So I tried to order one (using PayPal), but it doesn't seem like you're shipping to Norway. Are you planning to open up for shipments to more countries any time soon?

I clicked through to the tiling WM that he was using for KDE and one of the things under "Features" that got my attention was this:

> Support for setting windows to floating or quitting tiling altogether, per-desktop (Meta+Shift+F11) and per-window (Meta-f) (“Meta” refers to the “super” or “windows” key here)

I think this might be worth a try...

If you find this interesting then you might also be interested in SnapRAID: https://www.snapraid.it/

> SnapRAID is a backup program for disk arrays. It stores parity information of your data and it recovers from up to six disk failures.

> SnapRAID is mainly targeted for a home media center, with a lot of big files that rarely change.

> If the failed disks are too many to allow a recovery, you lose the data only on the failed disks. All the data in the other disks is safe.

I'm not affiliated with any of the projects.

> multi-touch gestures added in Gnome 40

This sounds like a great improvement! Is this Gnome-specific or can we soon expect to see this in other DEs as well?

I wonder if something like this could be effective against grey silverfish? They move slowly, usually on the floor at night and they're big and nice for the camera to see.

This looks very nice! I've been thinking about something like this for quite a while. May I suggest two additional features that I would love to see in such a window manager:

1. A way to neatly arrange all the windows on a virtual sphere that surrounds the user, possibly arranging them automatically in a similar manner as a tiling window manager.

2. A way to rotate the before-mentioned sphere around you without forcing the user to rotate it's head. This would avoid much of the neck strain. It could be done by, for example, holding a button on the keyboard while moving the mouse or by a simple keyboard shortcut to rotate the sphere by X degrees in any direction.

This concept could also be extended to virtual desktops where each desktop is a sphere around the next, like an onion, with the ability to "zoom" in to the next desktop.
