After 6 months of development resulted in the release of the desktop Cinnamon 6.4, in which the Linux Mint distribution development community works on the Gnome Shell, the Nautilus file manager, and the window manager. The goal is to provide an environment reminiscent of the classic GNOME 2. Cinnamon has support for successful elements of interaction from Gnome Shell. It is based on GNOME components, but these components are supplied as periodically synchronized modules, not connected by external dependencies with GNOME. The new release of Cinnamon will be included in the Linux Mint 22.1 distribution, scheduled for release in the second half of December.
