From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I recently installed Linux mint ane was unpleasantly surprised that it is virtually impossible on every desktop environment, as opposed to Ubuntu on which it required very little.

Second for KDE. Add a default panel to a screen and boom! You got what you want. Additionally, the DE is endlessly customizable.

No it's not. I use plasma and it's amazing but the panels are not the same, each panel is different and can't be synced.

KDE can display one taskbar on all displays? If so I would like to know how

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not technically, but you can configure both task bars to display the same things

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If so, then it's the same in XFCE.

It's not, Xfce can only have one systray

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 1 points 6 months ago

Right, that one.

Thanks, I went with KDE plasma and it just had the option under right mouse button

Awkward, comma.
