Cinnamon Gnome-Shell Fork Releases Version 1.2

Posted by Unknown on from the making-gnome3-usable dept.

New submitter Novin writes with exciting news from the Cinnamon project. Quoting the release announcements: "Cinnamon 1.2 is out! All APIs and the desktop itself are now fully stable! I hope you'll enjoy the many new features, the desktop effect, desktop layouts, the new configuration tool, the applets, changes, bug fixes, and improvements that went into this release. This is a huge step forward for Cinnamon." The release reintroduces desktop effects, fixes a slew of bugs, and introduces a new applet API (fixing a number of issues intrinsic to shell extensions).

    subject says it all, but i say, who fucking cares?

    Linux has had over 10 years to make a decent UI and it hasn't yet.

    Look, i'm a linux fan also, but lets be real. Linux has has so much potential, only to suck where it's really needed the most.

    yes, mod me troll, but you know it's true.

    And i'll still be waiting next year i'm sure...
