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.

I did a minimal Fedora 40 installation on my Thinkpad, so it's possible I missed some package... I don't have the Power entry in the notification settings; need that one to turn off the absolutely inane notification that the laptop's about to suspend.

Searched dnf for anything resembling power, came up short. Any idea what to check for?

Why is it worse? On desktop there are shortcuts and on touch there are gestures. Those buttons are a relict from the last millenium

Because a significant number of people still interact with the desktop via mouse rather than keyboard shortcuts.

Hell, I use hot keys for most things but I still often prefer to quickly minimize a window with the cursor instead of reaching across the keyboard. The first thing I do with a vanilla Gnome installation is get Tweaks on there and restore window buttons.
