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.
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.
