Review of freshly installed Fedora 27 Cinnamon Desktop

After the tutorial of Install Fedora 27 Cinnamon Desktop this tutorial is mainly to see what to expect from a freshly installed Fedora 27 Cinnamon – the look and feel of the Cinnamon GUI – http://developer.linuxmint.com/projects/cinnamon-projects.html
The idea of this tutorial is just to see what to expect from Fedora 27 Cinnamonthe look and feel of the GUI, the default installed programs and their look and how to do some basic steps with them, it is included also screenshots of the Cinnamon settings programs. Here you’ll find more than 100 screenshots and not so many text we do not want to turn this review of many text and version information and 3 meaningless screenshot, which you cannot see anything for the user interface, which these days is the primary goal of a Desktop system. You can expect more of this kind reviews in the future…
Cinnamon derives from GNOME 3 and it follows the traditional desktop conventions. After the release of GNOME 3 and GNOME Shell (and abandoning GNOME 2) a fork of GNOME 3 was made and Cinnamon was born to follow traditional desktop not the “shell” interface of GNOME 3. At present Cinnamon is not a front-end on top of the GNOME any more despite it still uses GTK+. If you search for a GTK+ based GNOME 2 or xfce similar linux desktop GUI you might reach a good option with Cinnamon. Its look and feel is more like KDE than MATE, which follows more strictly GNOME 2 layout.
Cinnamon is developed by Linux Mint team, which is yet another Linux distro.You can check it here – https://linuxmint.com/ As you may see from the screenshots below the main idea is to have a taskbar situated bottom of the screen with a “start” button and all programs arranged in different categories – the traditional Desktop behavior. The desktop feels fast, but there are reports of using greater memory footprint.

First we present the basic steps for installing the Operating system in addition to your present operating systems (here we have two: Windows 10 and Ubuntu) and then you can see some screenshots of the installed system and the look and feel of it. We have another tutorials showing more screenshots of the installed and working Fedora 27 Cinnamon (Gnome and KDE plasma) – so you can decide which of them to try first – coming soon. All of the installation setups are very similar for all GUIs of Fedora 27 it loads a live edition of the version of Fedora 27 you install and then the setup is launched by the user, the setup almost identical in all editions, but we do not want to give you a tutorials with “spaghetti” and unstructured flow of steps to follow.

We used the following ISO for the installation process:

https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/Spins/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Cinnamon-Live-x86_64-27-1.6.iso

It is a LIVE image so you can try it before installing. The easiest way is just to download the image and burn it to a DVD disk and then follow the installation below:

STEP 1) If you booted from the DVD you would get this first screen – select “Start Fedora-Cinnamon-Live 27” and hit Enter

LXQt stands for Lightweight Qt Desktop Environment and it is a bundle of packages to offer a LXDE ported with QT libraries. It is still under heavy development, but at present it is pretty stable and nice looking light linux GUI (light as we can tell using QT, of course). Even using QT it maintains the idea of light and fast GUI as the original idea of LXDE using GTK3+. In fact in our opinion LXQt is nicer and better looking than LXDE and if you need a pretty system on not so new hardware you could give a try with it! If you are a fan of the old KDE, the KDE 3.5 you could become a fan of LXQt for sure! There is a great resemblance between them in the GUI (not the builtin application, because KDE has and had a lot more!).

Fedora 27 MATE Compiz is really fast. MATE is the choice of people, which like the old and excellent GNOME 2 desktop environment, because the aim of the MATE is the continuation of GNOME 2. In combinations with Compiz you could have a modern 3D Experience and still be light to use on an old hardware. Compiz could be enabled and disabled in the settings so MATE could be used in really old hardware if you need a light, fast and more mature than LXDE (Review of freshly installed Fedora 27 LXDE Desktop) GUI.

Fedora 27 LXDE is really light and fast. The default installation includes only minimum software, but you could always install additional packages. It really should be used on a old system or embedded devices (like ex-windows tablets with low memory), because the GUI do not have many features like panel customization and build-in programs. Still it is extremely fast and if you do not need a fancy look and customization you could use it!
