raymac46 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Quote Forum Admins 11,426 27,921 posts Posted yesterday at 09:55 AM Well I work on window's systems M-F at work so I am used to their bloated and buggy environment I can certainly see that working on Windows all day as an IT Professional would make you want something completely different in your spare time. I was forced to use Windows at work but I was not tasked with maintaining it. Besides that was back in the NT4 days. As a retiree I found that the Windows 7 layout and menu was fine for me. I even use OpenShell to maintain that look and feel with Windows 10. No apps, no live tiles. When it comes to Linux I always gravitate to that same layout - taskbar/system tray at the bottom, icons on the panel, start button of some type. The exception is in GNOME but I've still got a honking big dock at the bottom with all my favorite icons on it. I suppose that is why I like Linux Mint. All the LM desktops I've used look like that. And of course that is the default layout for LXQt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Well that has only been for the last 6 years. Before that, I had not used windows in well over a decade. I was using tiling environments long before this job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 That and I have a linux machine at work as well, so its not just windows. It's just my main work machine runs Win 10 Enterprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymac46 Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 I think it is WmSysMon. I may not be using it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really need to know about swap these days ? You might find it easier to install a couple of dock apps that do just one or two things. https://www.dockapps.net/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
