How to Install Linux Mint’s Apps on Ubuntu

Linux Mint is far more than just the Cinnamon desktop with a bit of green sprinkled on top. It also includes a number of homegrown apps crafted by Mint developers that enhance the overall experience. Nemo file manager is probably the best known in Mint’s software stable, but other terrific tools include Bulky Warpinator, and Hypnotix. They’re well-designed, user-friendly apps ably tailored to their respective tasks. The good news is that you don’t need to switch to Linux Mint to use these apps. The beauty of open-source software (especially Mint’s, which is engineered to be distro-agnostic) is that you can :sys_more_orange:

Regolith desktop 2.0 aims to meet the needs of those who seek a fast and efficient desktop Linux experience controlled (primarily) from the keyboard.

And are some big changes since the Regolith 1.6 release from last summer. For one, devs have replaced the rofi “launcher” with a new “desktop executor designed specifically for Regolith” called ilia. This tool is, to be fair, pretty awesome and :sys_more_orange:
