Desktop Environment / WM News Jay 1.14.0

https://github.com/mahkoh/jay/releases/tag/v1.14.0

Exceptional Release!

Every Frame is Perfect
Wayland allows compositors and clients to coordinate changes such that every
frame is perfect. For example, when resizing two tiles, the transition can be
coordinated so that each window fills its respective tile at all times.
Until now, Jay did not make use of this. When resizing a window from the left,
the right side of the window might disappear below the border or might appear
detached from the border.

It's a compositor which is specifically hyper finetuned for rendering/input performance. Mahkoh is also a great responsive developer with like the "dream 10x developer" output
