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.

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'
Hey it actually works! But it only gives me an empty one 😅
Yep, then right click it and click applets and add what you need them move the applets to where you want.
Is there some way to mirror the original bar? I'd like access to open folders & softs on both.
Thanks again!
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.
