Hey 👋 dear Linux Community,

I’m still kinda new to Linux (started using this year 😅) I already made it to my main OS, even if I still missing some things which I used on Windows, anyway. What I wanted to ask you guys, what recommendations do you have for Linux Mint (Cinnamon)? In terms of security, optimization, (a way to make the UI looking modern ;-;) and privacy? I would be very interested in what you do guys to optimize your Linux setup :) I’m pretty technical, so there is nothing which could overwhelm me (probaly).

Thx! 🤍

    @voxel @linux I do little or nothing to optimize Cinnamon beyond looking at the Startup Applications to see if there’s anything I don’t need.

    Linux Mint’s newest release is very nice, with Cinnamon at version 6.04. It’s showing the benefits of refining an existing product rather than layering on new features. (If you use touchpad gestures, the new configuration options are useful.)

    Fedora’s Cinnamon spin is also excellent, if you prefer something other than Mint’s Ubuntu-based product.
