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.

I dont necessarily agree.

  • a different clipboard manager (whatever is equal to KDEs)
  • blur my shell
  • quick settings tweaker probably
  • privacy settings (which is only for pipewire apps I guess, so nearly none)
  • wiggle
  • probably some maximize to workspace

why doesnt GNOME have a maximize button

Probably because you can double-click the window 'bar' to achieve the same.

Interesting. KDE too but you also have a button. Makes more sense to control windows through buttons instead of a button, a doubleclick on a bar and a keystroke (meta)

The reason it was cut is more about the drag action, dragging to panel maximizes and grabbing it will automatically restore it down. It's basically combined with the move window action.

Thats also how it works on KDE :D

Just not on Cosmic, I hope they add that
