GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 543479
Change "Nice" to "Priority" in System Monitor
Last modified: 2011-11-11 10:03:55 UTC
In GNOME System Monitor, it has a column called "Nice". * http://www.watchingthenet.com/wp-content/uploads/image/ubuntusysmonitor4.png "Nice" comes from command 'nice'; * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_(Unix) However, the term "Nice" doesn't tell a user who don't know it, anything. The correct term to use would be "Priority" as that is what it indicates. People look at it, and they get confused "What, is it is nice? what does that mean?" Other information:
That's a matter of documentation. If you don't what is nice, how would you now that 20 has is a lower priority than -10 ?

That 20 has a lower priority than -10 is another thing that is dumb. It is not user-friendly! In Windows its user-friendly, you have "Low priority", "Normal priority", "High priority", and "Very high priority", etc.
