The Cinnamon Desktop install on Arch Linux
This is the third video about the Linux Desktop Environments. I lived in Gnome 3 Desktop, KDE Plasma Desktop, and now I will live in the Cinnamon Desktop environment for the next month.
Cinnamon is a free and open-source desktop environment for the X Window System that derives from GNOME 3 but follows traditional desktop metaphor conventions. Cinnamon is the principal desktop environment of the Linux Mint distribution and is available as an optional desktop for other Linux distributions and other Unix-like operating systems as well.
The development of Cinnamon began as a reaction to the April 2011 release of GNOME 3 in which the conventional desktop metaphor of GNOME 2 was abandoned in favor of GNOME Shell. Following several attempts to extend GNOME 3 such that it would suit the Linux Mint design goals, the Mint developers forked several GNOME 3 components to build an independent desktop environment. Separation from GNOME was completed in Cinnamon 2.0, which was released in October 2013. Applets and desklets are no longer compatible with GNOME 3.
As the distinguishing factor of Linux Mint, Cinnamon has generally received favorable coverage by the press, in particular for its ease-of-use and gentle learning curve.
So, during the next month, I will be using this desktop environment, tweak it to my liking (upcoming video) and let you know what I think about it.
Let me know what you would like to see on this channel, place your questions, suggestions below in the comments.
Have fun using Linux.
