However, thanks to Gnome-Do, I don't have to mess around with menus anymore!
Gnome-Do does... everything! It's a launcher for your applications.
All you do is press Super+Space and you'll be presented with the main interface of Gnome-Do. From there you type something. Gnome-Do will search your computer (thats your installed applications as well as files and folders) for what you are looking for.
For example, you typed the name of an application and press enter, and it will launch that application. However, if it was a file you searched for, you can open that file.
Gnome-Do doesn't end there however. A bunch of plugins allow you to do much more. Wanna search google? With Gnome-Do you can search Google, Youtube, even Torrents without having to open up your browser first.
But wait.
Gnome-Do also includes a dock, called Docky. You can use this by going to Gnome-Do's appearance preferences menu and changing the theme to Docky.
Docky will show your open applications as well as frequently used applications, and pressting the Gnome-Do shortcut will allow you to make searches.
Docky is also available available without Gnome-Do.
Running it without Gnome-Do allows you to have multiple docks (for example, I have one on the bottom of my screen to show running applications, and one on the left of my screen with shortcuts to my folders.)
Docky also has additional plugins that aren't included in Gnome-Do.
You can find Gnome-Do here and the separate Docky application here. Both are ONLY available for Linux.
