One more reason why Linux is better
Linux has conky, a real time heads up display that tells you anything and everything you might ever want to know. I run two conkies. The one on my left screen tells me basic system info, processor usage, cpu processes, disc info, memory usage,and memory processes. The right conky gives me every ip that is connected to me, and basic network info such as up/down speed, and my own ip.

I'm not going to lie, it isn't particularly easy to get conky set up just how you want it. But it is cool.

Check out a screenshot:

Windows has nothing comparable to Conky. Just some ugly ass stuff that isn't configurable and/or that you have to actually call up.

I run a similar conky on my laptop. It's small and transparent like yours. Laptops just don't have the space to get crazy.

I love Linux, but this is absolutely truth!!!

I have memories of frustration and dark circles under my eyes.
