Linux Mint Releases Cinnamon 2.6 Desktop

Written by Michael Larabel in Desktop on 19 May 2015 at 03:00 PM EDT. 11 Comments

The Linux Mint crew has tagged the release of the Cinnamon 2.6 desktop environment.

The Cinnamon 2.6 update is quite significant with support for systemd, panel support for multiple monitors, support for client-side decorations, and much more.

Those wanting to grab Cinnamon 2.6 from source can find it on GitHub until the packages make it into LinuxMint and the other Linux distributions packaging the Cinnamon desktop.
