    It’s not bad, but personally I prefer to keep my task bar separate and horizontal, which I don’t think would work with this. Plus my ultra-wide would make it more work to reach than the top and bottom.

    I’d post my desktop but it’s been getting so buggy lately. Task bar flickering, widgets getting squished. But I can’t even look into those yet because I’m trying to figure out why my desktop sessions aren’t being saved or restored anymore. Is this just life using Tumbleweed?

    The people that have problems with Windows and have to ask for help, shouldn’t be using Linux because it’ll confuse the poor souls even further.

    My mother got so fed up with her windows problems that she asked me to put Linux on her computer. While she still had problems after that, she found them manageable and was happy with it ever since.

    The people that know exactly how to configure and use Windows with zero problems have no need to use Linux

    Nobody has zero problems with either os. The difference is whether you want to deal with problems that are just technical, or due to incompetence and profit motive.















  • First one I tried was suse. Had it installed at an installfest (ah those heady days). But when I got it home it wouldn’t work with my monitor.

    Second I bought Mandrake, but couldn’t get that to work either because I had lost my monitor manual and couldn’t give it the vsync value for it.

    First one I got to work was called LibraNet. That worked great for a couple of years until they stopped supporting it because it was run by a father and son team and the father passed away.

    So then I chose suse again, hoping a bigger org wouldn’t suffer the same problem. But then later there was some controversy I can’t remember anymore (was it with microsoft?), so I switched to Kubuntu which I have been using forever, but am going to switch to opensuse very soon for various reasons.

    Fun trivia: used KDE on every one of them.
