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 was messing with the sticky notes widget the other day. I wanted to see how many can I add to the panel, so I spam clicked it 5 times and it froze the entire plasmashell.
I had to manually edit the plasma config file to remove them or else plasmashell just never worked.
After fixing plasmashell, I tried to add 1 sticky note again, and plasmashell froze again. So I just never touched it ever after.
Neat, there were a couple I hadn't heard of. One of the things I like to do is to use the Icons-only Task Manager on a panel that's been shrunk to the smallest size possible. Voila, an application dock.
I had them ducking too for a while but it messed with full screen apps enough I put it back to always up
I do the same!
I also put the rest of the default stuff in a panel at the top. move the clock to the middle with a couple of spacers. Swap the application launcher for application dashboard. and now I've got gnome workflow but I don't have to install extensions for basic stuff like the system tray.
I didn't know about the Global Menu Bar, pretty neat.
I want to like Plasma, really I do, but even when I haven't chosen it as a DE it overheats my laptop because Baloo File Extractor just won't fucking quit consuming a CPU core for what seems like hours a day.
I get it; pre-emptive aggressive indexing of files now to save CPU cycles in the future. But I have a lot of files and that future never comes for me.

I remember having this issue. Basically, it was a bug, where baloo file manager was stuck on a file. After some time (and maybe a reinstall?), and deleting the index, baloo worked fine.
Panel colourizer is the only new thing I found. Will try. Thanks.
