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.

Agree... Too much screen real estate horizontally, not enough vertically

Especially with the gigantic tab buttons the browser uses by default even in "compact" mode.

To think that I have lived years without knowing about those little features like combining title and menu bar to save space

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah, but combining those doesn't make the buttons smaller and tab-like. Enabling userchrome.css support and tweaking it yourself does, though. Still dumb that Firefox uses giant buttons instead of tabs.
