Re: [Trisquel-users] Cinnamon DE to be in Ubuntu 13.04 repos

I believe it has the same issue as Gnome Shell with regard to 3d  
acceleration, being a fork of it. This issue (3d acceleration) has been  
discussed before.

I'm not sure how the software rendering project is coming along, nor do I  
know its performance. If the need for 3d acceleration limits too many people  
who use Trisquel then I doubt it will be considered. However, I must add that  
I do not know how big this problem is in reality. I haven't really tested  
Shell on old (5+ years) Intel-only graphics, but most (I'd say all) modern  
Intel graphics will do the 3d acceleration just fine. The big problem area is  
with AMD. If you don't have an nVidia card then you're screwed unless  
software rendering is OK.
