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.

Can I set it to show open windows and pinned windows in exactly the same order on all screens?

When you add the main panel on a different screen it saves the app layout exactly, don't remember if it keeps clock the same, but you can add that yourself.

I prefer how cinnamons window manger works better, but kde is awesome so I switched.

Make sure to play around with desktop effects! I can't live without wobbly windows now.
