Cinnamon 2.4.5 released, install in in Linux Mint 17, Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 14.04 based distro
Cinnamon is an open source project that provides users with a full featured desktop environment for GNU/Linux operating systems. It is a fork of the GNOME Shell user interface distributed with the GNOME project. It has been designed from the ground up to provide users with a traditional, yet advanced and modern graphical session for their Linux-based operating systems. It’s usually deployed on the Linux Mint distribution.Designed for Linux Mint
Actually,
the Cinnamon project has been developed by the same team of hard
working people behind the Linux Mint project, out of frustration with
the GNOME desktop environment. However, the desktop environment is not
attached to the Linux Mint distribution, as it can be easily installed
on other open source GNU/Linux operating system, straight from their
default software repositories or using third-party ones provided by the
community.
