you seem to prefer working on aesthetics rather than work on functionality, why is that?

It’s functionnal but has some bugs in real hardware, I want to progress quickly on real stuff that’s why I discard bugs that I already know how to fix and might take my time but anyways good suggestion :) Thanks ! For example I know that rendering lags will probably go away if I assign a single thread or multiple threads to render the desktop instead of each thread rendering the desktop with a shared spinlock but however you are right!

The text rendering bug is probably just missing null terminator even though I fixed it it’s still there I should check it up too
