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.

My only complaint with Rhythmbox is that it lets you close it while playing a song and then the ui is gone but the song keeps playing. Insanity!
This sounds like macOS (in a good way). Is the window really closed or just hidden?
actually, it's the contrary for me! 😆 I'm currently trying to find a way to make Rhythmbox behave just like that: keep playing even when the UI is closed
No idea why you want that, but still... does this help any?

So I can have less windows open and cluttered, I like to keep my desktop minimal... And thx for the tip!
