The Linux Mint GNOME Menu is a customizable, user-friendly menu designed to help users navigate their systems with ease. It provides access to frequently used applications, system settings, and user files, making it a useful tool for managing and organizing your Linux Mint system.
I recently had the opportunity to try out mintMenu as the default "Start Menu" in the Linux Mint GNOME Edition distribution. Overall, I found the experience to be quite positive.
Firstly, I must mention the installation process, which required me to clean my Gconf entries for mintMenu before upgrading. Although this meant losing my mintMenu preferences, it was a small price to pay for getting the clean and shiny new version. The process involved right-clicking on mintMenu and removing it from the Gnome panel, followed by typing "gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/mintMenu" in the terminal. Once this was done, I was able to easily get mintMenu 4.1 from the Romeo repositories or download the debs from the download page.
In terms of functionality, mintMenu proved to be an efficient and user-friendly tool. It allowed me to quickly access my applications, search for files and folders, and even launch terminal commands. Additionally, its customizable nature meant that I could easily tweak the settings to suit my preferences.
The only downside I experienced was that on rare occasions, mintMenu would freeze or crash, requiring me to restart it. However, these instances were few and far between and did not significantly impact my overall experience.
Overall, I was very satisfied with mintMenu as a start menu option for Linux Mint GNOME Edition. Its ease of use and customization options make it a great choice for users looking for a reliable and efficient tool.
