Just saw a thread on thermal monitors for a desktop set up. It made me think of GKrellm. No https apparently.

I loved using that! But for some reason I stopped installing it.

Same with Afterstep. Though I found the configs for that one a pain to use, and I eventually started using things like Fluxbox.

So, what did you used to love, and maybe still do? Bit of a desktop-focus but it can be anything I suppose.

    Ubuntu until it integrated with Amazon search. Years later I tried a recent version but I hated snap being forced everywhere.

      Switched to Mint when Mark Shuttleworth personally declared all windows would be left-handed, the day before a long-term feature freeze.

      Coin-toss decisions have no wrong answer… except going back to re-flip that coin. Once people learn whichever way you implemented, that is the right answer.

      For me it was more petty, I bailed when they moved my window buttons to the left (Ubuntu 10.04 I think?) because I saw the writing on the wall for further unwanted changes. And sure enough, they moved to Unity as their DE, which I couldn’t stand.
