I’m looking for a launch menu that has similar functionality as the Windows 10 Start Menu. While I don’t think Windows is the pinnacle of OS development, I did find the “Start” menu quite useful in organizing my apps by task group and importance. Specifically, I’m interested in the following features:
- The ability to resize the menu.
- The option to create my own application layout in named groups.
- The capability to create folders with applications.
- Optionally, the ability to resize various application tiles.
The Cinnamenu applet for Cinnamon comes somewhat close, but it isn’t quite it. Does anyone know of an app, a DE or anything else on Linux that offers these features?
KDE Plasma is the way to go if you’re too used to the Windows desktop. Plasma 6 is out, and from what I ses it’s more like Windows 11, though Plasma is so configurable you could definitely mimic Windows 10.
Kubuntu still uses Plasma 5, which was pretty much exactly like using Windows 10 when I used it, though more configurable and smoother to use. If you want stability and compatibility in your machine, with a DE that has all its issues ironed out, Kubuntu is a good choice.
