@noheger@wien.rocks The XFCE desktop has a really nice take on resizing windows.
Alt+Right-mouse-click somewhere in quite a large area near any corner of a window does the same as trying to find the much smaller window resize area in any corner.
I find this very useful as my patience and hand-eye coordination deteriorate (generally and by varying degrees on given days) as I get older.
Maybe other desktops have similar systems.

@the_wub@mastodon.social @noheger@wien.rocks I think that's basically an X11 custom, Alt+LMB to move, Alt+RMB to resize. Should be available on most "normal" desktop environments :) Windows, for all its flaws, had some thick window borders for a while (Win 8? 8.1?) then later visually thinner but they were still easy to hit, like there was a part that didn't look like a border but still counted towards resizing. I found them really pleasant at the time, didn't have to pixel hunt!
