Cinnamon is a based desktop environment. It was originally started as a fork of the Shell, which is a user interface, and was initially developed by (and for) .

Initially, GNOME Shell was forked to create the Cinnamon project, allowing the Linux Mint developers better control over the development process and to implement their own vision of the GNOME interface for use in future releases of Linux Mint. Cinnamon 2.0 was released on 10 October 2013. From this version, Cinnamon is no longer a frontend on top of the GNOME desktop like Unity or GNOME Shell, but "an entire desktop environment". Cinnamon is still built on GNOME technologies and uses GTK+, but it no longer requires GNOME itself to be installed. Biggest changes in this release are

  • improved edge-tiling
  • improved user management
  • configurable individual sound effects
  • performance improvements for full screen applications

Cinnamon provides many features, including

  • Desktop effects, including animations and transition effects
  • A movable panel equipped with a main menu, launchers, a window list and the system tray
  • Various extensions
  • Applets that appear on the panel
  • Overview with functions similar to that in GNOME Shell
  • Settings editor for easy customization.

You can use the tag if your question is related to the Cinnamon environment or any application depending upon it.
