I was spinning up Chrome while trying to move around a Firefox window to my other monitor. Crazy though I haven't seen issues like this on any OS in at least a decade

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.

Does Windows still use GDI? Looks like GDI took a shit.
I think Windows moved to The Brotherhood of Nod a long time ago
No idea. I'm not using windows in this screenshot :p
Is that ChromeOS? I don't recognized the windowing system.
The only window is Firefox, which makes it hard to tell, but I'd guess it's GNOME with the Aylur extension.
Yeah my setup is mostly out-of-box Ubuntu + a bunch of random crap I've experimented with over the years that never got properly uninstalled. I should probably do a fresh install one of these days but I'm looking to swap to a more hands-on repo if that day comes
Fixing and maintaining a linux box is good exercise. Ubuntu has been sucking, though. I've been on a straight Debian for about six months now.
Since Windows 8, no. The last version to support running without DWM.exe was 7. Long live 7 :(
