Continue tasks in background when window is closed

So, in this way, you just simply mask close button as minimize button? And user can much more likely to forgot about running processes in background (in minimized terminals)? Isn't it in a direct opposite of your argument, that minimized apps consume resources?

How will you handle showing the background running has finished? As above its now just masking close as minimize.

Ideally there would be a seperation of the app UI/window and the process itself. So closing the window would close the window (not mask it as minimize). Then when the process is done, it could shoot a notification.

I can think of at least one use case where this might not work: when an ssh session hangs.

Actually wait, for hanging SSH sessions, you can just close the tab.
