Installing & Removing Cinnamon Desktop Environment

Hi

Cinnamon Desktop Environment is created by Linux Mint Guys.

This is suppossed to be Graphically Superior to MATE & Gnome.

It is also based on Gnome, yet gives a KDE Look with respect to animations and graphics

It is also faster than KDE despite the animation capabilities

However, Cinnamon is not stable.

The extensions will at times not work.

You may try cinnamon by using two commands

1) Adding Repository

wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/leigh123linux/cinnamon/fedora-cinnamon.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cinnamon.repo

The other command is

curl http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/leigh123linux/cinnamon/fedora-cinnamon.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cinnamon.repo

2) Installing the DE

yum install cinnamon

For removing the matter is much simple...

yum remove cinnamon

 

Thanks and Regards
Ever Yours
