@cnx@awkward.place@that_leaflet@lemmy.world Hah, I didn’t know KDE had adopted such an anti-feature. Now that you say it, I did know Unity was trying to copy it, but that’s quite a while ago.
Ubuntu had their own desktop called Unity that had a global menu. Gnome itself never did, though there were projects like Fildem to bring one to Gnome.
@tyil@fedi.tyil.nl, I don’t think GNOME has ever got global menu, it’s more of a Unity and KDE thing. Cc: @that_leaflet@lemmy.world

It absolutely did. It was also fully endorsed and utilised for a while in Ubuntu.

Edit: I was wrong, it used to have one
Nope, even in Gnome 2 before Unity: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/install-gnome2-globalmenu-in-ubuntu.html
When Ubuntu used Unity. I think there 3rd party GNOME applets for it but never anything official from the GNOME team.
