[lugm.org] Linus Torvalds finds GNOME 3.4 to be a "total user experience design failure"

[Nitin K Sookun]

I tested Cinnamon on Mint 12 and currently using the same on LMDE.
Well... To know if Cinnamon is better than gnome depends a lot on what 
you expect from a desktop environment.

Cinnamon sits on top on Gnome, so you're ultimately using the same thing 
but interacting differently.
I'd advise you moving to Cinnamon if you prefer the old school menu... 
But if you want it to perform better or be less buggy, then you'll be 
disappointed.

Better migrating with XFCE or something else in that respect.
