In regard to MX-Linux xfce it is true that in live mode the panel is on the left but once unkocked it can be moved anywhere. For new users of MX-Linux they like me, will be bemused that instead of the menu button being on the left after moving to the bottom, everything is reversed which means editing the panel. To add to the confusion, icons on the panel are not all readily named, other than with launcher and no identifiable icon, and to move the menu button to the left requires moving it upwards in the panel editing interface. (This is why KDE and Cinnamon have better panel editing than xfce). That said once you have sorted out the live desktop as you want you get the option to keep that layout during install, not present on other GNU/Linux distros. MX-Linux now has KDE which is even better but not for low spec older machines. My personal preferences have changed in that whilst I prefer the panel at the bottom, I prefer a tiled menu option:
