So....I updated my Manjaro to Plasma 6. Any chance that Minimal Menu (or something similar) exists?

I was not happy to find it gone. It's been a part of my system for so long that I honestly just forgot it wasn't default.

Now it doesn't even show up in the widget search and I'm honestly not sure I can live without it, largely because I can choose to centre it in the display on launch rather than having to choose either a) full-screen or b) right above the icon.

I can't even describe how upsetting it was to reboot after the update....

If you mean this, it looks like it hasn't been updated for 6 years.

I would not hold my breath on a fix coming for plasma 6 if it indeed doesn't work.

It's forked from simple menu which looks to be maintained, and should be similar?

Yeah. I had tried Simple Menu as well. It suffers from the "can't centre it in the display" thing for me. And it says "unsupported" when I try to launch it as well. At least hopefully it has the possibility of being updated.

In the meantime...ugh. Thanks anyway. Might be time to start looking elsewhere design-wise, but I can't stand Gnome or its derivatives. literally the only thing I don't like from KDE is it's application launchers. This really really sucks, personally.
