Ubuntu Cinnamon is an official flavour of the Ubuntu distribution featuring the Cinnamon desktop. The project strives to offer modern tools while providing a user-friendly desktop which will feel familiar for users coming from other operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows.
To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
Colour scheme:green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.
Installed just fine. disappointed that partitions did not open right up...but happy to see that by clicking
on the file manager opened each drive and partition and put it on the desktop. would like to see an
analog clock instead of the digital version. terminal is good. Start menu is good. Not too happy with Themes.
seems to be poor choices in COLOR. either Black or faded out color scheme. but other wise...very very nice.
would like to see the panel open up about twice the size currently shown.
I've spun this up again, running the 23.10 version, so like it, I've not changed anything as the defaults suit me really well.
After enabling flatpaks in the software centre it's running just how I want it.
I don’t have an issue with Snap’s as they offer a huge selection of software, there is no performance difference between snaps and flatpak’s, certainly not on a VM or my own hardware. I always install on bare metal as VM’s do not give you the insight into how a distro performs or how compatible it is.
What was a bit odd is a Debian logo is displayed at the login screen ?!
pros: stock Ubuntu, so great support, beautiful design, good choice of colours/graphics, clean, quick, excellent compatibility, 6.5 Linux kernel
cons: Lacking themes selection, not as polished as Linux Mint, doesn’t offer anything extra or unique, such as Mint’s webapp manager or usb writer tools.
In summary, I like the clean interface and sensible choice of apps in the distro, ...installation was a breeze, automatically picked up all my hardware including network printer...however I’ll stick to Mint (with snaps enabled)
23 was buggy when I tried it, but very pleased then gave the the LTS a go as it's been great
I like the theming. I was one of the many ubuntu users that left when unity arrived. I've tried every DE and cinnamon is the one I've settled on.
I chose the minimal install option, but still had a number of games and others things to remove I didn't want.
If you like Cinnamon and fancy a return to Ubuntu, this is a great choice
I've even got wobbly windows back with cinnamon extensions :)
Overall I'm very happy and will stick with this distro. My steam games work great (they don't in non ubuntu distros I've tried), finally no longer need windows at all and no longer have it.
