In GNOME you can hold the super key then drag any point in a window to move that window. Super handy.

Is there a similar shortcut for resizing? Ie, I'd hold that key then drag roughly near the corner or edge of a window to resize that window? Some windows have _miniscule_ drag targets for resize, and I'm hoping there's a more accessible way to resize windows. I know about Alt+F8 to do the whole resize with the keyboard. I'm not looking for that.

Well, I told myself I was going to stick to debian/stable on the personal laptop, but I see that testing (Trixie) now got updated gnome desktop.

Couldn't resist the upgrade 😄

Very smooth. Only dkms modules of evdi (silly displaylink), and wireguard since they rolled that module into linux-image, have any issue during the dist-upgrade.
