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.

Is it possible to have new windows open either right or left in gnome? (beehaw.org)

Using newest GNOME

I want windows of newly opened programs to either go to to to the half left, or half right of the screen when opened, instead of opening in a random place/middle of the screen not maximized

is it possible ?

I’ve never heard about lemme till today. I’m a twitter refugee so I’m kinda inexperienced with the fediverse, that’s said tho.. If someone is using gnome in the year of our lord 2023 they’re probably not the crowd for display managers. I do find the idea quite nice but I’m really wondering why desktop environments suck at windows tiling. It seems like quite an important feature.

Lemmy is a reddit-like that redditors are migrating to because of reddit's recent decision to kill 3rd party like twitter did (and their piss poor management, also like twitter). as for why DEs don't tile windows, the world may never know.
