Hello Linux.org.,
I'm not a big Linux Mint fan and never have been although I have used Linux Mint standard versions and LMDE without complaints.
I have been reading here and there that Linux Mint 19.3 ain't the same or as good as previous versions of Linux Mint.
Knowing how we users are about new changes to something we've become used to and comfortable with and the fact I was bored I decided to download and install Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon.
I created a bootable Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon DVD and off we started.
The install went without a hitch and once the install finished I restarted my 2009 Frankenstein build and installed the updates and some additional software from the Linux Mint repository and then applied some optimization tweaks and started using my Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon.
Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon is a major needed improvement over previous versions of Linux Mint with a lot of new changes.
I like the new look and finnally a normal updater instead of the dumb number level updater and I like the new Celluloid Media Player which is formerly MPV Media Player.
I experienced zero problems or issues OOTB.
I recommend giving it a look at and perhaps a test drive.
