Thanks for the detailed comment.

One is not forced to use the precluded software. You can try out alternative file managers and desktop environments on the same Linux distribution.

And you could specify the process priorities with a task management software or command line.

Yeah, I could

But I wish decency would come as default setting, I mean, those things above, I wish they wouldn't come as default settings...

You know what 95% of people actually expect from a computer? A comfort zone; total predictability of behavior, super standard crap no fancy shit, hassle free ideally (but eh, we're on linux here so, file permission is a thing...)

Something, that just fucking does the thing like they are supposed to be since windows XP, fancy shitlib new ideas and geek shit such as window autoresize when you hit top screen is really not a fucking priority nor even a necessary feature. Most of the time it's just annoying.

I suggeest you to try out Linux Mint, which I also use mainly currently.

There are ISO files shipped with four different desktop environment variants last time I checked: Cinnamon, Mate, KDE and Xfce.

Well, I've settled on ubuntu after trying them all for years, building my OS from scratch with arch, with debian minimal, etc

I know, ubuncrap, but still

In the end it's still the distro that feels the most "orthodox" to me, last time I checked mint had stuffs, little stuffs I didn't like regarding UI, non orthodox stuffs, I don't remember what exactly

Maybe I should give it another try, but then I'll have to migrate all my shit... And that's chronophage....
