If you use krohnkhite, there is a fork of it which i use on my kde test box AUR (en) - kwin-bismuth (archlinux.org)
Interesting. What does it do krohnkite doesn’t?
I guess it’s actively maintained, take a look at the git, it’s quite active. I know they added in a tray icon and settings directly in system settings.
Edit - Using the git version on aur removes it entirely as a kwin script & integrated with kde natively, probably would be upstreamed in the future.
haha, just watching mr. robot again episode 1, when the dude say “you are running gnome…”
I prefer to be the gnome hacker, and not the executive using kde

That’s probably true - where nothing is, nothing can get mixed up …

This is exactly the problem for me: On a “real” computer, however, it looks like from Toys R Us.

I think gnome is great, feels smooth and snappy nice animations, super simple, gtk and gnome apps have a nice consistency.
I get why people don’t like it in terms of workflow it’s very different from everything else out there, a lot of the negativity seems to come from people that liked pervious versions of gnome & the perceived arrogance of the devs… I’m in the camp of liking them having a vision for what they want to do and executing on it
I can’t see myself using any other de anytime soon, I’ll continue to play around with others in VMs but gnome does everything I need in a super simple aesthetically pleasing way.

The funny thing is that this option is actually present in settings. But, its buried so deep (configure power-button action under power sub setting) that people won’t look for it thinking that being gnome maybe they removed it.
Very well said. For normal user, it gives familiarity to windows. And for advanced user, it’s begging to be configured and riced up.
And it works beautifully. For me on desktop, KDE rules but on laptop gnome with gestures makes experience so pleasing. Initially I hated it so much, but now I’m went from hating it to loving it. What sorcery is this.

I used Gnome 2, and some of Gnome 3 (When Unity went away) and I would use it now except for the CSD debacle. The reasons for doing it make sense - the way it was done does not. While saving vertical real estate has advantages for laptops, there are better methods for achieving that result - and destroying 30 years of UI expectation by relocating OK/Cancel etc from the bottom right…!
Without that, (and preferably with my ideas on the top bar! 
) Gnome has a lot going for it… but I remain on XFCE.

What about xeyes?

It looks like you can mostly use it…
Try it, and let me know your experience with it (in that other topic)
I will definitely look into it then. The next time i try Wayland/kde! Thanks. I guess she everything on my end seems work well,I never really bothered to look further.
Spoiler alert: it won’t work. At least not on any native Wayland application, including the entire desktop.
I really want to give Wayland a chance, but until they let me get global screen coordinates of the mouse pointer, as well as global screen coordinates of the application’s own window, xeyes is impossible.
Xeyes, really that’s what’s holding you back on gnome
