Hey Everyone!
As we all know, Linux comes with a simple user interface when downloaded. However, the advantage of utilizing Linux is that it can be customized as desired, and that is what we will do today. It will be a series, and Part-1 is now available! I hope you find this helpful.
Step 1: Open the Terminal

Open your terminal and enter the following command to download these dependencies:
sudo apt install gir1.2-gmenu-3.0 gnome-menus libgettextpo-dev gettext xdg-utils xdg-user-dirs-gtkNow that we have installed all of them, we will be able to use ArcMenu without any difficulty.
After these steps, the install button will be replaced by an ON/OFF button. Click on it to launch it.
