[Yasir MX]

I had to kick gnome and resort to kde lol...

The UI which once was resource efficient is now crap :((

gnome3 definitely has become a major turnoff, i basically stopped using gnome at all ever since they screwed up with gdm's configuration for login screen's theme at some point, sincei  felt such a feature should have been considerred normal and i should be doing any tweaks to do that. I just use my nix environment remotely now, my mac's front end is fine!

    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.

      Hello,
      

      
      Just installed Linux Mint 13 (Maya) this weekend - with
        Cinnamon. Well Mint 12 (Lisa) also had Cinnamon.
      

      
      I just love it. :-)

           I've been sharing his
            feelings since GNOME 3.X. I really find 3.x to be very
            counter-productive and stuck to using Gnome 2. I'll wait a
            bit more to try out Cinnamon though, as I don't have much
            time to tinker with my system for now. Anyone tried Cinnamon
            (cinnamon.linuxmint.com)
            ?
