DE features start menu tiles reminiscent of Windows 10.
Are there alternatives to the Windows 10 start menu tiles on Linux desktops? I’m looking for a similar experience that lets you open new windows directly from an open app without losing your progress. Many users prefer this approach over constantly minimizing and restoring, which can be frustrating. I’ve noticed Tiled Menu in KDE but it doesn’t support tile groups, which is a key feature in Windows 10. It’s tough to find detailed guidance since most sources only mention window managers like i3. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
This kind of launcher would work well too. The key is organizing shortcuts exactly how you prefer—like on a desktop—just with more flexible grouping instead of folders. In the dashboard, the favorites area should stand out as the main focus and let you sort software easily. Here’s a visual reference from my current start menu. Default view: Group open: It’s technically doable, but I hope someone else has already thought of this and isn’t the only one seeking a similar solution.
The tiled menu you referenced has missing grouping options, which is something I find quite noticeable. Unless you confirm otherwise, this affects how I interact with the interface.
