in antiX you can make up your own menus! Or skip the menu entirely!
For people that dislike antiX menu and don’t want to/don’t care to learn how to change it, my advice, if using the default icewm desktop is adding app-select and put it’s icon right next to the start menu- it’s a organized list of (almost) all applications in your system- with icons and description… If you put desktop’s session icon next to it, you can quickly do anything you want in your system just clicking one of those 2 icons (you can even type “exit” in app-select and exit the OS from there, no second icon needed)…
If app-select is too slow on your system, use rofi – it starts faster on slower systems and even shows the recent apps you used first… – no need for “confusing” menu’s at all… How much “hard work” does that imply? Probably a lot, for someone that thinks the toolbar is too difficult to customize in antiX, when there are several GUI’s to do it…
And I do like my ideas of making “system related” menu entries show up gray, to any user can differentiate them from “regular” applications…
