@[email protected] I don't think "The Global Menu" is a #Linux feature, it sounds more like a very #GNOME specific design.
@[email protected], I don't think GNOME has ever got global menu, it's more of a Unity and KDE thing. Cc: @that_[email protected]
It absolutely did. It was also fully endorsed and utilised for a while in Ubuntu.
Ubuntu had their own desktop called Unity that had a global menu. Gnome itself never did, though there were projects like Fildem to bring one to Gnome.
Edit: I was wrong, it used to have one
Nope, even in Gnome 2 before Unity: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/install-gnome2-globalmenu-in-ubuntu.html
When Ubuntu used Unity. I think there 3rd party GNOME applets for it but never anything official from the GNOME team.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Hah, I didn't know KDE had adopted such an anti-feature. Now that you say it, I did know Unity was trying to copy it, but that's quite a while ago.
The screenshot in the OP is KDE Plasma I'm pretty sure.
I use it on KDE Plasma, haven't used GNOME in nearly a decade.
