Re: [Trisquel-users] Cinnamon DE on Trisquel

[dguthrie]

I cannot vouch for the PPAs. So you could try building it if you are  
comfortable with it. You get the latest version from Git and from a  
trustworthy source.
Alternatively, try GNOME Fallback, KDE, or MATE. MATE is closest to Cinnamon,  
and is built from the old GNOME 2 codebase. There is an official development  
PPA: see https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-mate. Cinnamon's 'fallback'  
mode when there are problems with drivers (e.g. ATI graphics) is basically  
the old GNOME 2. See also LXDE and XFCE which can be configured to be like  
Cinnamon (and are arguably more powerful and straightforward).
