  Ah, interesting. Well, if you create a bug report, post the link here and I’ll vote it up for visibility :)

  I believe it’s because firefox’s UI is placed on the bottom of the screen per default. To account for that, I believe they adjust the viewport’s height to either exclude the bottom of the screen (when the symbol bar is displayed) or include it (when you scroll down and the symbol bar is hidden).

  Because they use a slide-out animation based on scrolling within the web page, the viewport changes a million times in height and causes elements fixed to the bottom of the viewport to jump and adjust a lot, causing weird behavior. And nobody tests for that.

  All of this is my assumption by the way, please test for yourself, I might be wrong.

  If it really bothers you, try placing the symbol bar above and see if it works. It’s in the settings.

  What exactly are you criticizing about linux? That it got (too) successful? That it is run in its current form by Linus Torvalds at the top as a sort of benevolent dictator? That it is taking money from sponsors?

  Genuinely curious, this is a first time I’ve seen such criticism. More often I see linux people in endless flamewars about DEs, wayland vs X, package managers or whatever they feel strongly about and I’m not interested in those.

  If you set up bumblebee correctly you should be able to enable and disable the dedicated gpu on the fly if i’m not mistaken. Might still help with long teams meetings.

  I remember having bad overheating issues with Linux years ago on an XPS 15 (9560 model if memory serves, so unlike yours no 4k or touch).

  The key on mine was to disable the dedicated GPU which I didn’t need anyway. I remember afterwards, mint would run mostly quiet and the battery lasted longer than on the windows partition. If you are interested look up bumblebee on the arch wiki.

  Also I know this reply is late, but maybe it helps.

  You picked a single sentence in my reply and ignored the rest.

  I’d suggest you go use OpenOffice then. Using an essentially 10yr old version of an inherently collaborative software will be a nightmare.

  I find this a weird take.

  What about security patches? What about updates to document standards? What about technological advancements such as IPv6, 10bit colors, high res displays? What about bugfixes?

  Software is complex and office suites are complex by software standards.
