I've used KDE for a while now and I'm not going back to gnome, but one thing that I really want is MintMenu instead of lancelot or kickoff, I know it is for gnome, but is there any way to get it running in KDE? The only other thing I'd settle for is a menu exactly like the one in windows 7 or vista, I want something identical to one of those.

Why was this downvoted? I though it was a perfectly valid question. Was I wrong?

  • What is "MintMenu"? Are you talking about Cinnamon?

  • You got downvoted probably because your question is off-topic, as it's not about Ubuntu. Please use unix.stackexchange.com for non-Ubuntu related Linux questions.

  • I am sorry I made an uninformed question, but I do not see why someone would need to downvote instead of just flag the question as not really related. I thought it was related enough at the time of asking, but I guess I was wrong?

  • Thanks, I'll try that. I really just found that I can install cinnamon for when I just want a really simple environment (one that I'm more used to from windows) and use kde for when I'm well rested :P
