I keep the launcher for the main screen and Writer right next to 
"System" on the top panel.  I run 64-bit, but have a few 32-bit 
systems.  I do not use Mint, since for some reason it does not puck up 
my Canon MX6220 network printer, but will if I plug in the USB cable.  
But I have been using Ubuntu since at least 9.04.

What I do for installs, is un-archive the folder system to my main 
folder /timothy.  Then rename it to "Lib" so I do not need to type long 
paths.  Then I "cd" to the "DEBS" folder to do the "sudo" install.  I do 
similar things with any help pack or language pack I may want.

The big problem is, I need to uninstall LO 4.0.3 first before I install 
4.04.  If I do not, then I get menu issues.  Why, I do not know.  I just 
get either error messages when installing the desktop-integration 
file[s] or when I use the menu it opens the previous version.  I know I 
need to uninstall 4.0.4 if I want to install 4.1.0.  I do not like to 
deal with dual installs at all.  I had the same error when I tested Mint 
and went from the installed version to the newest version of the same line.

Yes, I run MATE since I loved the desktop environment of Ubuntu 
10.04LTS.  That GNOME desktop was what I wanted when I went to 
12.04LTS.  I tried using Unity on a laptop, but I went to MATE after a 
few weeks.  Did not like Unity at all.

Hopefully, the people who are using RPM will get the desktop-integration 
working soon.  I was told there were several different integration files 
to choose from depending on the version of Linux and the desktop.  That 
may be wrong but it was what I was told a number of months ago.

Sometimes it would be nice if there was a script to run instead of you 
doing everything manually.  But, that could be a security issue for 
some.  Every printer driver install, except HP, uses one or two .deb 
files.  HP runs an install script that will download and "make" the 
driver system for your setup, including downloading any needed packages 
that you may not have already installed on your system. Although it is a 
little slower, it seem to make the HP driver "system" match your system 
and not some generic one.

Maybe someone could make a Linux install script to make sure that the 
needed or optional packages could be installed through a question/answer 
script.  Right now the fact that the Windows 64-bit systems need to have 
the 32-bit Java installed if you want to use Java for parts of LO, would 
be a good idea to make an install "script" to install the needed Java 
package along with LO.  It use to be, you had to install Java first or 
you would get a "freeze" during the install process of LO.  Once Java 
was installed, the LO install would not freeze up.
