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.

Press F12 (or whatever) -> Terminal drops down, in focus and always on top -> Press F12 again -> Terminal disappears.
thanks. I just installed it because a person recommended another roll down one and I figured kde must have something like that and searched it. Another person mentioned using virtual desktops which I could kick myself because its so obvious. Im leaning toward that.
I use virtual desktop for GUI tools. I put the volume mixer, OBS and a terminal with ncmpcpp for music. So if I need to screen record or swap inputs or change music it is all on the same key.
