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 did a minimal Fedora 40 installation on my Thinkpad, so it's possible I missed some package... I don't have the Power entry in the notification settings; need that one to turn off the absolutely inane notification that the laptop's about to suspend.

Searched dnf for anything resembling power, came up short. Any idea what to check for?

Unfortunately that's baked into all GTK apps nowadays. They merged the window bar and the window toolbar and now depending on how busy the app interface is you'll get an unholy mess in some apps.

Plus there's no longer any rhyme or reason to the layout even in apps without overlap. Previously you used to have a clear separation between window controls, app menu, and app toolbar. Now it's all jumbled.

I'm not even sure I understand what was the motivation since the screens and resolutions are getting bigger not smaller. But they still could have find ways to do it better, for example come up with a wrapping system that would put titlebar, menu and toolbar side by side (but still distinct) where the space allowed, and wrap them when it didn't.
