Curious as to your preference and if you have any reason other than aesthetics.
Update: After making this thread I ultimately decided on neither. Loving the left side option on Kubuntu.

Me on Linux without a taskbar or dock or anything lol I don’t miss it.
Same. Windows-key opens the workspace overview with a global search field.
I only have the system tray and a clock on my desktop, which I can view with Windows-key+spacebar.
The Windows-key is commonly referred to as Meta or Super btw
windows key is called super, but meta is actually the alt key. source: emacs user
This is the most Fedi pendantry thing I’ve seen today and I encourage the chain to continue until it triggers a black hole of chained corrections over nomenclature nobody cares about or will ever follow.
Meta+F4, please. vimmer btw.
pretty sure there’s a mode for that in emacs, good old C-u 5 M-x inf-pedantry-blackhole
Unfortunately, it has a Windows logo on it, so it’s the Windows key.
I used to have a keyboard where it had Tux on it.
You people are crazy. What do you do on your computers that you don’t need to see what’s all running? Do you just not care what your computer is doing? Do you not have to switch between applications at all?
Alt+tab to switch between apps is normally quicker
You can press the win key to open up the search tray, then type whatever app you want. Also usually quicker than moving a cursor then clicking
I have a taskbar at the top. But I keep it extremely small so it feels more like the notification ticker on my smartphone
Except having to cycle through the apps you have open. And if you have, say, 3 or 4 copies of intellij, seeing which one is which is a pain.
I use workspaces and tiling windowmanagers to organize my programs. Actually, I feel like I know what is going on with my computer a lot better than with a taskbar. No windows hidden behind others, no need to cycle through long app lists with alt tab. I know my code is on workspace 2,so I go there when I need code. Same with spotify on 4, Discord on 5, browser on 1, etc. Terminals and other windows added as needed.
Also, a side note, a taskbar is a really sad excuse for a list of things that are running on a computer.
It’s a great excuse for a list of active windows though. Which is what you interact with. Having to remember which workspace is on what is the worst.
Yeah I run Pop shell (gnome with a bunch of tweaks) and don’t miss a dock or task bar at all.
Great keyboard navigation of workspaces and automatic tiling make it super easy to organise programs and navigate to what I need almost instantly.
I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with cosmic once it’s ready.
