Using Alma Linux 9, I installed XFCE (coz I hate Gnome) and noticed it
has the panel in the middle of the bottom, like the old XFCE, which was
imitating CDE a bit.
Whereas in Mint, they have narrow panel across the bottom, with
menu in the left corner for those used to Windows.
Anyway just rambling coz it's raining and I had a few glasses of red wine.

but MINT Mate, at least allows panels to be top/bottom left or right or
any combination of te above, or autohiding as well
I guess its the mint default to put one at the bottom, XP style

I've used and loved xfce for quite some years, but I'm abandoning it
because of gtk 3 making every program its own window manager. Grinds
my gears every time I have to run a gtk 3 program and it ignores all
of my window manager settings and behaviors.
