Ubuntu Cinnamon is now an official Ubuntu flavor...

I've mentioned the scuttlebutt before. (It was mentioned briefly in a public chat. I didn't leak anything private. It just didn't have any official confirmation.)

Well, it's now true...

Ubuntu Cinnamon Now Official Ubuntu Flavour

What's the best way to sample the Cinnamon desktop on top of an Ubuntu base? You may be minded to answer Linux Mint (and that wouldn't be a wrong answer)

I, for one, welcome the new flavor. I'm partial to the Cinnamon desktop. It's definitely in my top 3 current desktop environments.

Nice! I'm currently using cinnamon on pop as my main thingy.

will have to give it a try. Thanks for letting us know.

I too am partial to Cinnamon, I think it's the best as far as GUI desktop purposes are concerned. Makes sense to have it on Ubuntu, I never liked Gnome

Trying it out live at the moment, looks pretty good.

Mmmmm cinnamon bread is always good......

As to Mint, I have always used Cinnamon and it has worked so far. On MX I use XFCE I just can't get XFace out of my head though. Mint and MX seem to be my goto's. I have been running Neptune on an older Alienware laptop. I play around with it once and a while. Seems to be good so far.

I never liked Gnome

It's hard to please everyone at the same time, eh...
I left Ubuntu when they dropped Gnome for that Unity crap.

The list of flavors is getting long...

I just massaged the beta release post for the fridge, and thus my first (beta) 'release' notice which included Ubuntu Cinnamon.... but also included Edubuntu too !!

(whilst Edubuntu isn't 'new' per se, if I've posted before with them in the list of flavors, its been so long ago I don't recall it).

10 flavors for lunar, and that's not counting Ubuntu, Ubuntu Server, Cloud Images which feel like flavors too as I massage the text in a text editor.

(I couldn't paste the URL; it's in a review queue currently)

Cinnamon is a good desktop environment, and having a greater variety of options on Ubuntu, or any distribution for that matter is always a good thing, keep the flavors coming!

Yup.

Wonder if they'll do one with out a desktop per se, but with a tiling window manager? Something like that.
