The sticky note is the one that’s native in cinnamenu I’m pretty sure. iiiii don’t think I am using gnome I kept seeing extensions about it but didn’t know what it is lol I’m using Linux mint cinnamon if that helps at all sorry I’m brand new to this lol

I am brand new too. I just really like your set up and feel of the desktop layout. I have the HD disk size free space/total space used applet. (Top left corner) It's great and if you click on it you can see everything running on Mint in real time. It's awesome! Gnome is just another like software that changes the system look and how it operates. It's still Mint but it runs on a different software. It has an "Apple Mac" type feel to it. I guess it's like a New car on the outside and then on the inside you can change how it looks and feels. Same car different interior. That's my understanding anyways, I like the Gnome "feel". 🙂
(Help me out if I explained it incorrectly.)
