Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix arrived just in time for the holidays. Its first stable version is based on Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine. It utilizes Linux Mint’s Cinnamon desktop environment on top of Ubuntu Linux’s codebase. Work on several release candidate and beta versions stretches back to 2013. The efforts stayed under the radar until the announcement of the new distro’s debut stable release. As its name suggests, Cinnamon is the only desktop option. This release supplies a missing link in the current Ubuntu Linux desktop family.
Hi, I think you guys know who I am.
I am not the dev of Ubuntu GNOME or affiliated with it in ANY way. Please let me know where else people keep spreading this rumor around so I can solve it.
"...I was unhappy with lingering issues that befell recent versions of Linux Mint..."
I, unlike you, left Mint after a MODERATOR told me to go somewhere else after I very civilly pointed out some problems. Best advice I ever got.
Since it has become obvious that it's now easier to simply copy Ubuntu than to fix obvious shortcomings (which USED to be C. Lefebvre's M.O.), simply call Linux Mint what it has become--Ubuntu Mint. And get rid of the Mint Forums "echo chamber".
Thanks for the recommendation. I am not anti-Ubuntu. Went to Mint when Ubuntu went rabidly anti-user. Now Mint has done the same (listening to the user is what made Mint SO great for SO many years). Seems as tho Ubuntu is coming back around, while Mint is still on their "bigger, faster, higher, feature-driven, "let's copy Ubuntu" treadmill.Seems to be a Linux Plague, these days.
Remix Could Bring Some Cinnamon Lovers Back to Ubuntu
