From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Playing along for Mint/Cinnamon suggestions. Already using the Cinimenu (or whatever it is) but its still not "it".

I like ulauncher. That's what I use on my main machine that runs Mint. It's not Mint or Cinnamon specific but it doesn't need to be

Maybe I misunderstood. Are launchers more like "search" or quick lunch?

I was looking for a start menu replacement.
