I hate all those canonical fuckers loving up the worlds shittiest linux, ubnutu.

They purposefully stopped people putting the close window button back onto teh correct side. WHY. why would you do this. I hate it. put my button back where it belongs.

also gently caress the ubuntu unity lovely app switcher lol that the latest compiz pacjkage disables your lovely app switcher becauseguess what? it never works right. got 2 windows of teh same app open? lets open the wrong one every loving time.

i installed cinnamon and classic gnome and gnome flashback, none of them were much good. sadly they are close to being good but for the most part do not conform to the traditional linux style of customisation. though i guess i could compile from source to fix it.

anyway i have realised that windows 10 is actually teh best UI but for linux it is still mint xfce


real talk teh ideal start menu is a smallish popup with a search bar and list of apps. and teh window buttons have to be on the right. how hard is that to do.

-works good
-looks ok

-ships with a hosed up app menu configured, you have to remove it from the panel and add the mate menu on

otherwise its p needs suiting. i installed "mate-menu" becuase it is slightly nicer than the included menu but both have search functionality and look p much like the win10 start menu

another nice thing about mate is that it handles keyboard shortcuts in a sane way

Great news! Despite not attempting any python since university I managed to edit the mate-menu application so that it will launch programs properly. the power of open sores!!! :getin: :rms: :rms2:

linux on the dekstop thoughts from a nontechnical woman/child:

1) gnome3 ftw kuz win key does the cool expose clone, with launchy clone built in. also good multi desktop tiling. very productive, for me.
2) unity. confusing and bad windows manager. end up having to mash alt-tab nonstop. also need to bind alt-tilde if u have multle winodws of a single app. insanely confusing
3) kde. like a gimped windows, with wierd defaults. also brutally ugly. not really all that bad but doesnt work as good as windows for window managing. snap doesnt work half as good as win10 snap.
4) xfce. suxors the ultimate one. doesnt do anything. worst window manager. cant find my poo poo. bars on the top and bottom are hosed up, and useless.

you would like mint xfce. ships with proper menu that pops open when u press win key
