Hi! I presume you're using Wayland?
Keeping on top on Linux was how it used to work, but Wayland doesn't let apps float windows on top of other windows themselves - the user has to right-click on the window to give it this capability.
Apparently, change might be coming though? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/132
