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.

Well its jot sunny and dry here, and I am not yet started on the 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

Panels are highly configurable. Make it how you like it.

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.
