Context: So apparently Gnome’s push for client side window decorations is making it so that some apps (Including Steam) don’t show the Cosmic window decorations
Edit I forgor steam just uses its own window decorations, it was an issue with a lotta apps so I assume steam was one too
I think the hate for Gnome is what keeps everyone else in check. It’s like the sacrificial lamb or black sheep or whatever, it’s the example preventing you not to go down that very same route.
And that’s probably the most flattering thing I’ll ever say about Gnome.
It would help if every distro out there didn’t make the cesspool their default DE.
When Gnome doesn’t work, for close to everybody it means that Linux doesn’t work.
Man the more I hear about issues with Gnome the more happy I am with choosing KDE. I am interested in trying out other DEs, but KDE just seems to “just work” out of the box with plenty of options for customization. For the record I did use Gnome for a good few years with a slew of plugins that were needed for basic functions.
Every time I try another DE, I always end up using KDE again by the end of the week.
KDE is great, but man i can’t wait for Nvidia to perform better with it
I’m OOTL, what happened?

As a COSMIC fan it hurts me
doesn’t steam just use it’s own window decorations on all platforms tho?
ohh, it was an issue with a lotta apps so I assume steam was one too
i guess it depends? to my knowledge cosmic doesn’t use it’s window decorations on anything that isn’t a cosmic app, so most apps will use the GTK/Qt ones instead.
on KDE however, most non-GTK apps (and some GTK apps like Libreoffice or Inkscape) will use the KDE decorations. except flutter apps.
it’s a confusing mess.
I dont like that Gnome pushes this, but its also no theyre fault COSMIC chose to implement it the way they have. They could choose to give users an option to force server side decorations.
AFAIK it doesn’t show the window decorations no matter what WM you are using because Steam is a web app like Teams.
ohh, it was an issue with a lotta apps so I assume steam was one too
I dont think the problem is with steam at all? I thought the problem was cosmic using fallback csd put in for gnome instead of the developer intended ssd.
