“he first thing to notice is that Linux Mint’s working space is
dominated by the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. It does the
exact same as the Windows taskbar. It displays the main menu
button, open system tabs and different panels on the right side.
Already installed panels are the ‘show desktop only’ panel on the
far left and the update, connection, sound and date panels on the
far right. You can drag, drop, add and move other panels on it via
right-clicking the taskbar.”
