So I have a two monitor setup, and I really dislike how gnome only lets you have the bar on the primary screen unless you install a plugin that is very outdated and I cannot get working on the latest version of gnome or use dash to dock, and I am not a fan of the dock style…

Then with KDE is kinda nice, but then I have to keep the panel at the bottom of both monitors in sync manually for pinned items… I am just curious if this bothers others and if there is a DE that doesn’t really have this issue or any workarounds people know of.

    Cinnamon works very well for this. I can put bars all over the place on any monitor.

      Does Mint let you do that? I was mildly annoyed about having the “bar” only on one screen, I did some looking around but didn’t find anything useful.

        Right click bar > ‘Add a new panel’

            Yep, then right click it and click applets and add what you need them move the applets to where you want.

                If you mean copy/pasting the bar to the new screen/placement, I’m not sure. I’ve never gotten it to do anything other than create a new empty bar. When you look through the applets though it shows which ones you are already using and what they do so you can just click the + when you’re editing you new bar to add the thing you know you’ll want there.

                Also, try out Cinnamenu, it’s better than stock start menu imo.
