Show HN: Bonk, a command-line tool for X11 window management

My understanding is that "window managing" tools like this are not possible due to how wayland handles information. Pro: More secure than x11, Con: I can't use wayland. Aside from investing a lot of time learning how to use a tiling wm I dont see how I'm going to get over my addiction to minimizing only the active window. ( xdotool windowminimize $(xdotool getactivewindow) )

For improved security with X11, try firejail+Xpra, or Qubes OS. They will not only help in the graphical front, but also others like processes and storage.

Workarounds for the inherently broken security model of X11.

Gee, if only there were a modern display server protocol with a fixed security model!

All models are wrong, some are useful?

Theoretically, X11 is dangerous. But what isn't?
