What do you think is the best CLI coding agent overall?
I’m mainly comparing things like Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Aider, etc.
I care about:
If you’ve used multiple, which one would you pick as the best overall and why?
Hi KDE folks,
I’ve been working on a small Plasma 6 project called Global Menu KDE.
GitHub:
https://github.com/ChathurangaBW/global-menu-KDE
The idea is simple: I like KDE’s native Global Menu widget and didn’t want to replace it with a custom macOS-style panel. I only wanted to add the part that feels missing when the desktop itself is active.
When there is no application exporting a global menu, the widget shows:
File Edit View Go Tools Settings Help
Those menus contain desktop-related actions such as:
If you find something broken, especially menu actions, panel behavior, persistence after reboot, or application-menu switching, please open an issue on GitHub with your Plasma version and distro.

Feedback, testing, code review, and contributions are welcome.

I’ve been working on AppMenu, an open-source GNOME Shell extension that brings a macOS-inspired global menu bar to Linux.
It includes:
• Application-aware global menus
• A Spotlight-style search experience
• Workspace and window controls
• Recent files and system actions
• Fast user switching
• Support for GTK, Qt, Electron, Flatpak and more
• No external daemon or background service required
The goal is not to turn Linux into macOS. It is to bring some of the best desktop UX ideas to GNOME while keeping everything open, customizable and community-driven.
The project is open source, and contributions are welcome. Whether you want to report a bug, suggest a feature, improve the documentation or contribute code, your support can help make AppMenu better.

Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on AppMenu, a GNOME Shell extension that adds a clean, macOS-inspired application menu to the top panel.
It includes:
The extension supports GNOME Shell 45–50 and works on both Wayland and X11.
It is still under active development, so feedback, testing, bug reports, and contributions would be appreciated.
