Thanks! there are a couple more wayland compositors that do have this feature, but other Plasma features are often lacking.

Fair. i conflated two separate complaints about two different operating systems

I agree, however Windows and macOS are even worse IMO. Everything is just totally inconsistent (Windows) and the window management features are very barebones (both). Using either one feels like going back 10 years or more.

The CSD trend might have some upsides but i find it mainly just makes apps ugly and any added functionality is almost always redundant.

Kvantum really helps make Plasma more consistent, not sure if there is a similar addon for GNOME

Edited for clarity

Yeah that was the case right before it got removed, but in P5 and for the first couple point releases of P6 KDE apps were working with it

My blocker is the Window Shade button on Plasma.

It worked fine in Wayland under Plasma 5, but somewhere early in the 6 transition support was removed.

For anyone not aware it minimizes the window to its own titlebar. I find it faster and more intuitive than minimizing to a dock, and it’s easier to keep track of things when you can actually read the whole titlebar.

Wooden needles are supported, but are not mentioned in the main install guide for ethical reasons. There is a HOWTO:/Wooden_needles guide on the wiki if you need it
