The Cinnamon desktop is much more Windows-like than Unity, Ubuntu's default desktop environment — so if you're a Windows user, you'll probably find Cinnamon particularly user-friendly. Here's a guide to installing the latest version of Cinnamon as well as a few useful tweaks.

Installing Cinnamon From Ubuntu Repositories

The version of Cinnamon in the Ubuntu standard repositories is not the latest version available, but it is adequate for most people's needs. (If you want to install the very latest version, see below.) Whichever version you wish to use, you should install Synaptic so that you can find and install Cinnamon easily. Synaptic comes in very handy for other tasks, too, such as installing Java.

Installing the Latest Version of Cinnamon

To install the latest version of Cinnamon, you must add a third-party Personal Package Archive (PPA) to your software sources. A PPA is a repository that a person, group, or company other than Ubuntu developers has created. The upside to using a PPA is that you get the latest version of the packages; the downside is that Ubuntu doesn't provide support for them. Sharpdesk 3.3 installer serial number.

Now that you're able to use the menus to launch applications and navigate around your system, check out the multitude of ways you can customize Cinnamon.

Linux Mint or Ubuntu?

Cinnamon is the default desktop environment for a flavor of Ubuntu known as Linux Mint. If you haven't installed Ubuntu yet and you would prefer your desktop to function more like Windows, try installing Linux Mint rather than Ubuntu; Cinnamon has already been customized to work perfectly. If you've already installed Ubuntu, though, creating a Linux Mint USB drive and replacing your Ubuntu operating system with Linux Mint would be overkill.

Install Ubuntu Desktop On Server

You might also want to use Ubuntu and not Linux Mint if you desire the latest in Linux development. Linux Mint bases itself on the long-term support release of Ubuntu. This means you get the latest stable release of Ubuntu, including security and package updates, but you don't get newer features offered by incremental updates to that release. With this in mind, you might prefer to use Cinnamon on Ubuntu rather than on Linux Mint.
