It’s first stable release is based on Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine.**_ + +[Cinnamon][1] is Linux Mint’s flagship desktop environment. Like [MATE desktop][2], Cinnamon is also a product of dissatisfaction with GNOME 3. With the GNOME Classic like user interface and relatively lower hardware requirements, Cinnamon soon gathered a dedicated userbase. + +Like any other desktop environment out there, you can [install Cinnamon on Ubuntu][3] and other distributions. + +Installing multiple [desktop environments][4] (DE) is not a difficult task but it often leads to conflicts (with other DE’s elements) and may not always provide the best experience. This is why major Linux distributions separate spins/flavors with various popular desktop environments. + +[Ubuntu also has various official flavors][5] featuring [KDE][6] (Kubuntu), [LXQt][7] (Lubuntu), Xfce (Xubuntu), Budgie ([Ubuntu Budgie][8]) etc. Cinnamon was not in this list but Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix project is trying to change that. + +### Ubuntu Cinnamon distribution + +![Ubuntu Cinnamon Desktop Screenshot][9] + +[Ubuntu Cinnamon][10] (website under construction) is a new Linux distribution that brings Cinnamon desktop to Ubuntu distribution. Joshua Peisach is the lead developer for the project and he is being helped by other volunteer contributors. The ex-developer of the now discontinued Ubuntu GNOME project and some members from Ubuntu team are also advising the team to help with the development. + +![Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix Screeenshot 1][11] + +Do note that Ubuntu Cinnamon is not an official flavor of Ubuntu. They are trying to get the flavorship but I think that will take a few more releases. + +The first stable release of Ubuntu Cinnamon is based on [Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine][12]. It uses Calamares installer from Lubuntu and features Cinnamon desktop version 4.0.10. Naturally, it uses Nemo file manager and LightDM. + +It supports EFI and UEFI and only comes with 64-bit support. + +You’ll get your regular goodies like LibreOffice, Firefox and some GNOME software and games. You can of course install more applications as per your need. + +### Download and install Ubuntu Cinnamon + +Do note that this is the first ever release of Ubuntu Cinnamon and the developers are not that experienced at this moment. + +If you don’t like troubleshooting, don’t use it on your main system. I expect this release to have a few bugs and issues which will be fixed eventually as more users test it out. + +You can download Ubuntu Cinnamon ISO from Sourceforge website: + +[Download Ubuntu Cinnamon][13] + +### What next from here? + +The dev team has a few improvements planned for the 20.04 release. The changes are mostly on the cosmetics though. There will be new GRUB and Plymouth theme, layout application and welcome screen. + +I downloaded it and tried it in a live session. Here’s what this distribution looks like: + +[Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more Linux videos][14] + +Meanwhile, if you manage to try it on your own, why not share your experience in the comments? If you use Linux Mint, will you switch to Ubuntu Cinnamon in near future? What are your overall opinion about this new project? Do share it in the comment section. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-cinnamon/ + +作者：[Abhishek Prakash][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/abhishek/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamon_(desktop_environment) +[2]: https://mate-desktop.org/ +[3]: https://itsfoss.com/install-cinnamon-on-ubuntu/ +[4]: https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-desktop-environments/ +[5]: https://itsfoss.com/which-ubuntu-install/ +[6]: https://kde.org/ +[7]: https://lxqt.org/ +[8]: https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-budgie-18-review/ +[9]: https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ubuntu_cinnamon_distribution_screenshot.jpg?ssl=1 +[10]: https://ubuntucinnamon.org/ +[11]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ubuntu_cinnamon_remix_screeenshot_1.jpg?ssl=1 +[12]: https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-19-10-released/ +[13]: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu-cinnamon-remix/ +[14]: https://www.youtube.com/c/itsfoss?sub_confirmation=1 From eb5799d78b5a7d5b7f818be7ea155ed99ba3f322 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Xingyu.Wang" Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2019 05:54:02 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Rename sources/tech/20191209 First Ever Release of Ubuntu Cinnamon Distribution is Finally Here.md to sources/news/20191209 First Ever Release of Ubuntu Cinnamon Distribution is Finally Here.md --- ...ver Release of Ubuntu Cinnamon Distribution is Finally Here.md | 0 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) rename sources/{tech => news}/20191209 First Ever Release of Ubuntu Cinnamon Distribution is Finally Here.md (100%) diff --git a/sources/tech/20191209 First Ever Release of Ubuntu Cinnamon Distribution is Finally Here.md b/sources/news/20191209 First Ever Release of Ubuntu Cinnamon Distribution is Finally Here.md similarity index 100% rename from sources/tech/20191209 First Ever Release of Ubuntu Cinnamon Distribution is Finally Here.md rename to sources/news/20191209 First Ever Release of Ubuntu Cinnamon Distribution is Finally Here.md
