Re: [libreoffice-users] cant find main menu in ubuntu window

Actually, is this user stating that LibreOffice is the issue of no 
menu?  Or the OS.  After reading the article and the original post, that 
might be the case.


Since the user came from a Windows 7 environment, MATE would be my 
choice.  Even the application windows seem similar to Win7's application 
windows.

I find that having a desktop environment that is like the 10.04 version 
of GNOME works well with Windows users, when they migrate to Linux.

The big "thing" for finding where the menu option[s] is[are] depends 
upon the version of Ubuntu, for both Ubuntu and LibreOffice.

Did 16.10 still use Unity?  How about the tiled environment of Ubuntu Gnome?

I prefer Ubuntu with the MATE desktop environment.  The good part is 
that 16.04 has MATE in its repository.

To be honest, I rarely used Unity with Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04.  I made 
sure I went and installed MATE before I did anything else with the final 
version.
