All the different window top bars/UI elements not lining up.. especially for stuff that has nothing up there.. extra annoying when disabling window decorations don't disable them
tbf if you look at most Windows apps, almost none are completely identical. especially modern electron wrappers
Tbf I didn't like it on windows either lol
And if I listed all the things I don't like about it the list would also be a lot longer than one (relatively mild) annoyance haha :3
That sounds like a KDE thing, specifically. This is pretty much not an issue in Gnome unless you're running something with X11 compatibility.
That kind of comment is what annoys me most about Linux. You explain your problem and then smart_linux_guru_89 gives you a lecture about how the kernel module of KDE desktop library layer is using an instance of the filesystem version in vim-enabled interface and you should edit the famously-known /etc/rcmpfs.conf file before recompiling with the correct flatpack in rust binary stack. And then they get mad wen you tell them you don't understand and they end up saying you should StIcK To wiNdOw$ if YoU dOn'T kNoW hOW tO UsE a COmpUTeR.
In other words, the community is the worst thing about linux. It's been that way for the 30 years I've been watching it.
Not what I'm saying at all. KDE has this as a known issue they aim to fix. Gnome only solved it with the move to Wayland and a lot of work on unification of the graphics libraries to render those things.
That's a strange conclusion to reach, considering that KDE's window manager / compositor draws uniform top (title) bars for all applications that allow it, while GNOME/Gtk has adopted client-side decorations where each app draws whatever it wants at the top of the window.
I think it's more likely that GP is either using GNOME apps that have different ideas about what to stuff into their title bars, or using some other desktop environment with a mix of apps built with different widget toolkits (or different versions of them).
The difference is: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/
Even if you launch an app in compat-mode, the decorations are still rendered as if native. KDE still working this out.
Not a ding on KDE or anything, and there's plenty of hate for Adwaita, but it works.
I actually used GNOME for most of my linux time lol :3.. now im kinda jumping around between TWMs until COSMIC, I only tried KDE in VMs and it was very much not for me (and tbf I only like GNOME with a ton of extensions too)
