Next job: learn how to fully customise Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon.
I like the Mac layout better than WinBlows, have for years, so will be figuring out how to do something similar with Cinnamon.
Apps centre bottom, info top right. Maybe a few unobtrusive desklets with time, system status, etc. Don’t know if you can pop the app menus out to top bar like Mac, but not an issue.
Not expecting it to be a breeze, but used Linux from 93 to 2001 so have a clue how it works.

@itsfoss IT is!
Either #Cinnamon, from @linuxmint or @kde if you come wrom Windows or @gnome if you come from MacOS or if you want something else.
Hmm, Linux #Mint scheint auf dem #MacBook nicht die beste Lösung zu sein.
Ich hatte jetzt schon mehrfache Crashes von #Cinnamon und auch die Netzwerkverbindung stirbt immer mal wieder und lässt sich wohl nur durch einen Neustart wiederbeleben.
Liegt das an Mint oder ist der #Debian-Unterbau das Problem?
Was habt ihr auf euren alten MacBooks (meins ist ein 2012er) so am laufen?
Trying out #Cinnamon in #LinuxMint. There is no way to add or change keyboard layout 
it should be there but it's missing.
Good Morning. A couple of fun new food art pieces. Happy Monday!

I unfortunately couldn't bake the cinnamon rolls that day so I popped them in the freezer mid-rise. Took them out last night to thaw and finish rising, then baked in morning. Heaven, and perfect for a Sunday. #baking #brioche #sourdough #dessert #cinnamon
Stało się. Na wszystkich starych komputerach w domu, na których nie pójdzie Windows 11 stawiam jedną dystrybucję #Linux-a.
Wybór padł na #Debian12 z #Cinnamon (a na słabszych maszynach #LXDE)
Wiele lat używałem Ubuntu, ale jednak to Debian jest najbardziej elastyczny i nadal ma 32 bitową wersję (a mam jeden komputer który nie ma x64!).
Now, having an integrated login manager for your desktop environment is a great idea. For many reasons.

@linuxmint might want to take note here for #cinnamon
So I nuked my openSUSE Tumbleweed installation the other day in favour of #LMDE 6 "Faye". There were several reasons: 1) KDE is great, but still too buggy, and I don't need 99% of its features; 2) rolling releases are not for me: I hate updates and dislike new versions of software, also Tumbleweed can easily brick your workflow with hasty kernel upgrades (barely dodged this bullet).
LMDE on the other hand is based on #Debian (me and Debian we have hard relationships, I never managed to make it work for some absurd reasons) and features stability, lack of unnecessary updates and, as a consequence, older versions of software.
I like that it works basically right out of the box. I feel I'm getting too old for barebones systems you can hack yourself. Now I just want to work as quick as possible.
I never used #Cinnamon much, but it seems OK. Just enough features to tune some things up, but not too much, like in KDE.
Some software is a little too old. Emacs from repos was version 28, so it couldn't pick up my configs. Note to self: don't use features from newest versions in your config files. I had to build it from source, so not a problem.
ZFS tools is also a little too old for my main ZFS pool and can't import my pool due to unsupported features. I guess I could try to build it from source too. But here be dragons, I fear.
I only use Ceylon #cinnamon (C. verum) because I try to avoid #coumarin, which is poisonous. (You should, too.) In order to authenticate the cinnamon I buy, I am experimenting with ways to detect coumarin at home. This sample is C. burmannii and the fluorescence you see here should be coumarin. In addition, my C. cassia and an el cheapo cinnamon of unknown type (I presume cassia) showed this. My two C. verum samples had nothing.
My attempt was to get the coumarin out with methanol (or I guess you can use cheap moonshine), and drip it on NaOH (drain opener) soaked #Aeropress filters, then dry and illuminate with UV. Am I right here? Anyone? #homelab #chemistry
because #gimp 3.0 looks hideous with the (absolutely outdated) GTK theme I'm using, I wanted to change the system theme...
the issue is, I'm in #DWM on #ArchLinux, and I use the #XFCE bar, so I have the XFCE settings app installed, but the icon theme and gtk theme can not be changed from there.
luckily, I have #Cinnamon also installed, so I can log in there, use the settings app there, and that works.
why though?! #JustLinuxThings
i used to overdose on #cinnamon too
until i found out it has coumarin in it, which can be toxic (you have to eat a *lot*, nothing to worry much about)
there was also lead contamination scare awhile back, but that's not natural (like lead and cadmium in chocolate)
and i found out that the coumarin content is species dependent
get your hands on ceylon cinnamon
it's coumarin content is dramatically lower than other varieties from china, indonesia, and vietnam
