Could you build this?

No Window managers and custom compositor effects require low-level systems programming, OS display protocols, and GPU shader pipelines.

What it would actually take: The architecture requires low-level C or Rust interfacing directly with Wayland protocols (via wlroots) or X11 APIs, integrated with OpenGL/Vulkan shaders to render real-time blur and glass refraction. The hard parts include handling display server IPC, input seating, seat focus, damage tracking, and real-time GPU composition without frame drops or memory leaks. This requires deep expertise in systems programming, graphics pipelines, and OS window management protocols.
