Basic stuff like minimizing a window does not work (with Firefox). Great job Gnome 40 team. I wonder truly also, why does anyone develop Gnome and why does Gnome get picked to be the default environment for Ubuntu still.
I wish Linux -developers would see the way of unifying their powers finally, but no, desktop year of Linux 2025 still probably means not having basic UI stuff figured out, while macOS and Windows troddle on to have at least a working and figured out base environment which to build actual features upon.
Also, the naming .. Gnome, Gimp. Who likes to use software with these names ? :P
- jamienicol 5y agoFirefox doesn't have a minimise option because it implements its own title bar. You can disable that in firefox prefs. Or the native menu is accessible with win key + (right?) click. I wouldn't know exactly because I've never once felt the need to minimise a window in gnome 3+. People develop and use gnome because it works well and they like it.
- kaba0 5y agoThat’s quite an attitude when talking about free software. Also, as have been said plenty of times, Gnome is opinionated very much. And it is not the usual stacked wm, after using it for a time, I’ve never ever wanted to minimize something. Of course it won’t be everyone’s thing, feel free to use the thousand other wm’s out there, that can minimize for you...
