Description

Consider adding autoHideMenuBar to browser window on Linux, since the menu bar frequently looks terrible on non-Unity systems. It shouldn't have an effect on Ubuntu+Unity (the only Linux we officially support) since the menu bar isn't part of the window (it's like macOS).

This change needs to be tested.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to enable autoHideMenuBar in Electron's BrowserWindow for Linux. Check the current window configuration and add the option only for non Unity Linux environments. Test on various Linux distributions.
