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.

Dragging chrome tab to another screen. On windows and chrome os it works fine, i can drag a tab from one window and it becomes a separate window i can place anywhere.

On Linux, as soon as i move the tab, the new window is created but I'm no longer dragging it. It annoys me greatly because i often want to move tab to the other half of the screen, or another screen and i can't do it in one motion.

Firefox and mint - not a problem I've been aware of.

Works on Firefox if you ever get angry enough to bother switching.

Last i checked on Fedora (40) it didn't work for me. Firefox also had worse touchscreen support.

I like Firefox as it performs better and uses less resources, the main friction for me would be moving all the passwords from google password manager. I'd also like to keep them in sync with chrome as I'll still get probably use chrome on other devices, including android.

Just tested on nobara 40 (which is basically fedora 40) gnome and it works

Not for me, i just checked again. I can drag what appears to be a thumbnail and it doesn't behave like a window so i can't snap it to the side or the grid, and the window is still there so even if there are no other tabs in that window i can't move the tab to merge with a window below as it's covered by the first window.

I know I'm a tab juggler 🤹‍♂️
