Hi all, about to install latest LMDE with Cinnamon. I like my taskbar / dock on the left, to make better use of real estate.

Mint doesn't have that option to move it to the left.

Can I ask if anyone has done this, in a good, usable way?

Thanks for your help.

Can you just right click it and move it?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're asking for, but can't you put it on the left by right-clicking on the panel, clicking "move", and then clicking the left side of the screen? (I put my panel on the top instead of the bottom that way.)
