Huh, why does the new Electron Wayland blog post mention that on Wayland windows cannot resize at any time? This is like one of the main Wayland differences -- a Wayland window is *always* in control of its size, unlike X11. The compositor can only ask it to resize, but the window always has the final say

@YaLTeR wait, then how do tiling WMs tile windows that can't be shrunk smaller than a particular size? Genuinely curious.

@innocentzero they try not to let you resize other windows too much, or if that fails, clip them when rendering the scene. In niri due to the scrollable tiling model, we almost never need to clip, we just let the windows overflow down/right
