I recently switched to Linux Mint on my MacBook Pro after trying Arch, and I really liked how easy it was to launch programs just by pressing the Windows key and typing the name of the app. Is there a similar tool or launcher I can install on Linux Mint to achieve this functionality?

Actually, on Mint, you can just press the Windows key and start typing the program name just like you did on Arch! It's built into the desktop environment, so all you need is to hit that key and search for your app instantly. Super convenient!
You can definitely get something similar on Linux Mint! Try installing Rofi or Dmenu, which are popular menu launchers. You can easily install them from the Mint repositories by running `sudo apt install rofi` or `sudo apt install dmenu` in the terminal. Once configured, you'll have a great way to search for and open programs quickly! You might find Rofi has more customizable features. Check their GitHub page for tips on setting it up!
That’s cool! I didn’t know it worked like that on Mint too. I’ll have to try that out!
