Still not updating until you let me keep my taskbar where it is.

Are you referring to the centered taskbar?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No.

[–] whostosay 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Well shit now I'm more curious. Care to elaborate?

My taskbar is laid vertically along the left edge of the screen, so I can have full ungrouped small-icon text labels for every application. Monitors are wide, horizontal real-estate is cheaper than vertical.

Right edge of right monitor user here, good taste

Technically I do left-side-left-monitor, right-side-right-monitor, left is primary, right is chat.

StartAllBack can do that for you, and a few more things as well: https://www.startallback.com/

Probably on the side of the screen, which is also where I like it. This change was actually a tipping point for me to give Linux another chance for daily driving.
