Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is oke of my true painpoints with linux too. However its tempting to get Hyprland working properly as that removes all windown titlebars (Hyprland is designed to be keyboard first). So at least visually that is a lot more appealing since you no longer will notice this.

I removed all the window titlebars on KDE and I'm happy

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice, how did you go about removing them? And do you also close them with keyboard shortcuts? Would like to try this on KDE too!

I created a Window Rule and so far it seems to be working. This was a test but I've done it before through the Window-Specific Overrides in Windows Decorations-Edit Breeze Theme
I use the keyboard very often and have a shortcut for that. It works for my use case, I always have windows maximized and tile them when i need it using the default keyboard shortcuts

To be fair, this screenshot also does not have the default adwaita icon pack selected but instead something what I think might be the Mint theme(?)

For some reason the Rust GUI toolkits don't use WM's window header.

So... Add one more window decoration style to the list

This is the kind of shit that stops people from migrating to Linux.

Lack of consistency in the UI. We’re in 2025 dammit. Not 1995.

Edit: okay, WTF Windows is now even worse?!?

[–] ComradePedro@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's sad that this gets downvoted to hell. As a MacOS user who appreciates beautiful UI, this is a major pain point for me on Linux. And yes, Windows is the absolute worst at this.
