You mentioned linux mint 18.1, and then talked about the way that Unity made good use of widescreen laptops/monitors as its launchers were on the left. True, which is one reason why so many people requested the ability to use vertical panels in Cinnamon, and why it was included in Cinnamon 3.2 which is in mint 18.1. I’m not a Unity user, but the Unity screenshots usually show a status/menu line across the top. Cinnamon 3.2 does not require this, you can run with just vertical panels on one or two sides if that suits your workflow.
