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 think it takes up too much screen real estate, and doesn't add anything to the view.

Right- click on menubar, select "customize toolbar", select " titlebar" on left bottom. See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/udvxje/why_are_the_window_decorations_for_firefox/

Ah yes, the ever growing and maintained X11 window system.

The future of security and standardization, with the mostly used feature of transmitting GUI assets over a network.

And to top it all off - the most documented code project, with the users facing easy customization options, that requires almost no programming language knowledge - and the easily compatible feature matrix, with allways up to date patch files.
