God I wish the cinnamon interface was more my thing, I absolutely love the way they focus on user experience. I hope it continues to pay off for them and give linux users, both new and old, the best possible experience
I haven't tried this with Cinnamon but with other Desktop Environments you can run your own Window Manager inside it, if that's something you'd like. That way you can take benefit of background services and desktop integrations of the DE but use any WM you like.
i3 under Xfce or KDE is very common, for example.
Sadly I'm a gnome fan 🥲
Thats super cool though, thanks for sharing, I'd not heard of that! I might try seeing if any of the cinnamon utilities work and are useful in GNOME though, just out of curiosity
