http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net might be helpful too for windows users wanted linux apps and an X server

It's not emulation it's just a windows terminal with SSH support and an integrated X Server....

Because stumpwm will be in the guest machine and not in the Win machine....that's the way the X Server works

stumpwm is really great, being CL and swankable and such, but it was still a layer much too far from what i was mostly doing

exwm is a bit of magic to me. it keeps X11 frames in the emacs windows perfectly. so that, "x11 apps" are just emacs buffers.

I've tried StumpWM but never got along with it, I'm not a fan of the keybindings and didn't particularly care enough to modify it all.

i started to get custom with stump, but it would have been too much effort to be something too unique and mutated from the norm - i dont want to exile myself =)

exwm is basically perfect. install from melpa, set up xinit/lgdm/xsession, then trust in emacs.

When I change screen orientation, the current window becomes in a weird state, no longer displayed but still current.

Trying to explain why you don't like C++ to someone who programs in C++ for a living is hard

They might tell you that they have exquisite control over memory layout and memory copying operations, and that that Lisp junk gives you none of that
17:59:08
whoman
same way you tell your friend that you arent interested in his girlfriend but she keeps eyeing you

stylewarning: someone made a reference to something similar, my response was that most languages do it for you.
18:11:49
stylewarning
The property of “giving you control” isn’t something that can be done “for you”
18:13:07
stylewarning
The real answer is “some languages don’t allow you to peek at that level of abstraction, namely the representation and placement of objects in memory”

lol, thanks stylewarning ! your last two sentences, very appropriate for another current conversation about english-type contextual human language. thank you
