Cinnamon is great and elegant! Having said that though I haven't used it
since I removed the Manjaro partition that contained it (since it also
contained non-free things).
In terms of elegance and tidiness I think KDE plasma is a little bit behind.
Not by far, but a little bit behind.
Have you seen Plasma 5? It was released a few days ago.
https://dot.kde.org/2014/07/15/plasma-5.0
I hadn't. I've just now seen a page on it, went here to edit my post, and I
was too late :)
Anyway, my opinion on KDE Plasma 4 is still that's it isn't as good as
Cinnamon...
The lockscreen was improved in later versions of Plasma 4, you'll probably
see it in Belenos. But the new lockscreen is even better. :)
I haven't been a fan of the KDE Plasmas... but Plasma 5 looks pretty cool.
Does Triskel 7 come with Plasma 5? Or will it auto-update to Plasma 5?
What's the key combination for this search feature? Does it work like
Synapse?:

As Magic Banana said, Plasma 5 won't be in the 7.0 repos because 7.0 is based
on Ubuntu 14.04. Ubuntu will include Plasma 5 in 14.10, so Trisquel 8.0 will
include it. That will be in about 2 years
What's the alternative? The mess that is the current Trisquel 6/7 desktop
which not only looks bad, but isn't that customizable? How about MATE? Sure
if you want Trisquel to look like Gnome 2 and pull in all those Gnome 2
packages and dependencies when the world moved to Gnome 3 and GTK3
Is this Trisquel 6 or 7? They stopped updating Cinnamon at 2.0 for Ubuntu
12.04 (for which 6 is based off of), but 2.2 is available for Ubuntu 14.04
and Trisquel 7.
It was Trisquel 6.0. This was last year, it may have improved since then. I
don't like buggy software on my system. Just a comment, to some the default
desktop may be ugly but I was more impressed with the fact that the distro
just worked and detected my hardware and the performance was
What about KDE Plasma?
KDE? Is this a joke?
I've followed a few guides and it works fine to add the PPAs, but when I run
'sudo apt-get update', it can't find the cinnamon packages.
I don't get why you love Cinnamon so much. It's not bad, but I find it to be
a cluttered mess.
I tried to install Cinnamon on Trisquel and I hit nothing but problems.
Nemo kept crashing so I uninstalled it.
