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.

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.
