I looked it up, and didn't surprise me who brain-farted his way
through that post.

But regarding that matter, back when I used Windows, I showed
a screenshot of my desktop, where every application had its own
ideas about what it wanted to look like.  So Windows ain't "all that".

On my Linux desktop, the only apps with their own oddities are
those without title bars, such as Steam, obs-studio, and
the EDO game launcher.  Maybe Blender too.  So the idea
that Linux desktops are jungles of mis-matched interfaces
are somewhat exaggerated.
