What does your taskbar look like?

[EphraimK]

What apps are open?

Are you using any extensions to modify the experience?

 

Here's mine, Ubuntu Linux 20.04 with Dash-to-dock modifying it:

No, that's a legit Windows system. It's just inside the case of an old PowerMac G5.

Mine, I legit keep it simple, clean, and minimalistic.. zero icons on my desktop as well. 

 

Synergy, a software KVM 

File Explorer

Chrome

 

Thats it... thats all thats pinned to my taskbar.

i keep only the essentials as well, chrome, teams, anti virus, whatsapp, ok so maybe not essentials but definitely all useful stuff for a power user

[RockSolid1106]

Only file explorer and FF pinned. I hide all the shit Microsoft puts on my taskbar(Weather, Search, Task View[I use win tab for that]).

 

 

Also hid the tiles and stuff in the start menu

Spoiler

That's a bit some clutter on the right side.. Do you actually use that? I personally don't, and thought most don't too.

These are pretty much my "open on a daily basis" programs (F@H mainly for the events nowadays).

I don't actually use all programs on a daily basis, i.e. I'm not drawing each day, or design a vector image, or a PCB/schematic (3rd, fifth and sixth icon respectively), but I use them often enough I just want to have them open at all times. Maybe I should just use my startup folder for these at some point.

 

I have bunch of more programs in the start menu, which aren't 'daily' uses, but often enough to easily click on them to open.

Some programs do get added/removed from the taskbar periodically, once I realize I don't actually use it daily (anymore).

My desktop is pretty messy, but I always have programs open so never actually see it.

I'm a nerd who runs Wayfire with no dock or taskbar. I have a panel at the top that shows the time and volume, but that's about it.

 

To switch between applications, I press a hotkey that nicely lays out all windows that are currently open, and I click on the window I want to switch to. Confusingly, this action is named "Scale" in Wayfire:

 

To open applications I have another hotkey that opens nwg-drawer. My setup is basically GNOME Desktop but without the GNOME Desktop.

 

I never understood the need for an always on screen dock or taskbar, I've been using GNOME and recently Wayfire without one for years.

 

(btw I wouldn't recommend using Wayfire if you're not prepared to experience random crashes and a barely functioning desktop that needs a lot of complicated setup, and I still haven't figured out how to change the default wallpaper which is stretched to hell on my 10:16 portrait monitor, just use GNOME or KDE for something that works)

Some Chromebooks are not bad. For Chromebooks...

Not many, though.

 

The highest end chromebooks we have here are a bunch of amd lpddr4 laptops (lenovo), but the resolution is still too high for its vega gpu... smh

 

The ones most of my classmates have to stick with is a weaker celeron one (acer) with barely any ram, which funnily enough runs better for its age and display.

Isn't ChromeOS supposed to run on Low Spec Hardware that Most Mainstream Linux Distros out right refuse to install on?
