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.

This sounds really cool. The window "optimum size" they're talking about sounds a lot like what macOS does with its Zoom feature, where when you double click the titlebar of an app it resizes to the app's content size (as opposed to maximizing), which is something I'd really like to see on Linux.
If this is implemented I'll definitely try Gnome as daily driver for a while. :P
