Cet article est aussi disponible en français. This article contains quite a few technical terms, which I will explain these in the following paragraphs, those that are already familiar with these terms may skip to the next section. A basic understanding of linux and it’s desktop environments is assumed. Server side decorations (SSD) is the term for when when the application’s titlebar is drawn by the system and client side decorations (CSD) is the term for when the applications draws it’s own titlebar. KDE prefers the former, while GNOME prefers the latter. KDE and most other desktop environments supports both, while GNOME only supports CSD.

an article explaining why GNOME should support SSD, but also arguing against the reasons often given for why they shouldn’t

If someone could repost this to r/GNOME I would appreciate it, since I don’t have a reddit account.

    Closest I’ve come to any of that black magic hotkey fuckery is I’ve learned to hold shift when I drag to get it to snap to my tiling setup in KDE. Oh and Alt-tab for window switching and Meta-Tab for Activities.

    I’m pretty much ready for Sway as you can tell.

      😂 I take it you aren’t used to working with computers much except maybe for gaming? Or what kind of computer background do you have, if you’d like to share? 🙂
