After the recent update on my Mint Cinnamon, I'm experiencing some trully annoying freezes in all gui apps at random moments across the system. Not really horrible but quite irritating

Still getting used to Cinnamon as a desktop but already liking it well enough over gnome.
Main selling point - KiCad works properly again.
Completely fed up with all the weirdness wayland is causing. KiCad has a really good, and perfectly reasonable, write-up about why they aren't fixing wayland issues - most aren't in their control, nor are they writing distro specific workarounds as each distro implments different wayland feature sets.
still on fedora, and was planning a clean install for 44 (years and upgraded release cruft building up - most self-inflicted) and know which spin I'm going for

@Lu
Thank you for the pointer!
Looking at the evolution i feel that users act more and more on their dissatisfaction with #CinnamonDesktop.
I note that:
* the number of downloads of #MATEDesktop increased 50% in a year;
* the number of downloads of #EDGEDesktop decreased 50% in a year.#desktopEnvironments #desktopEnvironment #distros #Linux #LinuxDistributions #distributions

The overwhelming response to benchmarking poll seems to be for #LinuxMint. Mint is the #developer of the #CinnamonDesktop environment. It's unfortunate that the performance with cinnamon on this distribution is worse than with cinnamon on nixos. The #DisplayManager on this distribution, #LightDM, hasn't been updated for 5 years. It also uses the most disk usage of any #Linux #Distribution tested so far at 11GB. More details on the benchmark and audit at https://everybytecounts.org. Video coming soon
