At least Xubuntu 20.04 has got an application menu by default,

Let's not lose sight of meeting the requirements and pleasing the taste of
the current user base. Will my experience be improved by making the DE more
like Windows?
Nope!
What real benefit do I find in the thought that more people are using my

I'm a child of the 80th, born in 1966, so I never migrated from Windows
to Linux. I do not come from Windows, as well as a lot of Linux users
of my age or who are way older than I am.
