I have a serious love hate relationship with Cinnamon. I LOVE it, in theory, because it's everything that Mate and XFCE are, with more bells and whistles and visual appeal. But I HATE it because the fucking thing is SOOOOO prone to breakage when it updates.
I stick with XFCE because it's far more stable for gaming and is "stable" (read: updates slowly), but watch Cinnamon closely because I miss it
That is strange, XFCE had been much more prone to breaking than Cinnamon from my experience.
Maybe it was related to Linux Mint and not the DE. I might try it when I do a reinstall in a few months
I use LMDE so maybe it was just an Ubuntu thing.
