I love to tweak and customize my computer’s desktop. I love to add widgets, gadgets, shortcuts, and informational apps. I’ll add just about anything that will allow my system to be as unique and distinct as possible and still allow me to get my work done.

This is another big reason why I run Linux here in my studio. Linux can be customized in hundreds of different ways. You can run different desktop environments, add a wide variety of desktop widgets, and run multiple desktops.

It’s the last item I want to discuss.

If you run Windows, you know that your desktop can sometimes get cluttered with multiple programs. You may be running a word processor, browser, MP3 music player, and email program all at the same time. You have to scroll through all these windows to get to the program you want to use.
