TROMjaro 2026.01.13 (Unity is back as Default!)

2026 brings something new but also old to TROMjaro: The Unity Layout style is back because we managed to fix an annoying thing with it. Let me explain. When I first discovered Linux I fell in love with Ubuntu’s Unity. A desktop that had the apps icons on the left bar, then a thinner top bar with useful info and tray icons: If you maximized an app, the app’s menu and window buttons were part of the top main bar, and this maximized the space for any maximized app 🙂 .

TIL if you run gnome-terminal under Xorg it will default to always enabling GNOME's annoying Client-Side Decorations (aka header bar) instead of using the Window Manager's own window decorations. However, if you run the Window Manager under Wayland, even via the xwayland emulation layer, gnome-terminal is smart enough to realize it's not running under gnome-shell and disable it's silly Client-Side Decorations and not disable the Window Manager's window decorations.
