Manager, just at times, on top of my photo-editing and other programs. Other people might wish to pin a calculator or notepad to stay in position, instead of
disappearing beneath other windows. In my research into possibilities, there is at least one third party app to achieve this, called DeskPins, which is considered
good by TechJunkie

Best option?

open task manager - select "options" from top menu - select "always on top"

Also in Linux if you press Alt you can drag a window by any part of it, very handy on a small screen where you can't reach the top border, or the buttons at the bottom.
