Fractal claims to be one, I was just eyeing it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal
But as their recommended installation method is Flatpak, which is no go for me, I can neither confirm, nor deny it.
Among TUI ones, AFAIR, iamb allowed it — but there was on matrix.org server that made all the attachments encrypted and iamb didn't support that yet last time I checked. Maybe it was fixed already, but I'm not sure — you could still chat, but you could not see the images people send you.

I'd choose that over any Qt software — to avoid building Qt, but damn… Flatpak? WTF that is?! How am I supposed to use that, why can't I just build it?
It's one of those moments: "Installation: just use our prebuilt container",— a container, how do I run that on my weird system, why can't I just build it and run in my system natively? 🤪
@m0xee @Hyolobrika Hmm, i do eat animal carcasses, but i still try not to ingest gnomes.
Afaik flatpak is akin to letting EA determine how games work? Maybe better not.

Most of my computers use Void and the system is very minimal and I do my best to avoid getting Qt installed — my distaste for which comes back from the days when Qt software in general was more bloated and slow, I know that in comparison it might no longer be true, but it's a matter of habit.

Unlike Qt, which is a monolithic behemoth, software being GNOME usually doesn't mean a thing — it's not even that tightly integrated, it just means that UI is GTK-based, maybe with a few additional minor dependencies, which is fine by me. Again, that might turn out to not be true — there is software built in Vala.

I haven't tried GNOME (or any full DE) in a while — they might be all awful to me at this point 😂 I want just the basic window management: be it dwm or sway, and I want to map shortcuts to launch the software I want. I already rely on some GTK-based software so I have the libraries installed, GNOME software isn't something deeply integrated — in most cases it's just something GTK-based — already having those libraries makes me fine with it.

@m0xee @Hyolobrika Did i already mention fluxbox?
I find it wonderfully minimal.
