Cinnamon is a desktop environment that is widely promoted by the Linux Mint team. Linux Mint Cinnamon is their flagship distribution. In its turn, Linux Mint is a leader in the world of Linux distributions, especially for the newbie-oriented part of it. Unfortunately, the recent release of Linux Mint 18 made things worse, and many Linux bloggers
wrote about this.
There was a
comment on my recent post about Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon that asked me to look into the Korora distribution.
Korora is a distribution that is based on
Fedora, similar to the way Mint bases on
Ubuntu. Korora's task is to make things "just work". Let's see if this is true.
You can download
Korora from one of their many mirrors when you use a special tool on their web site. Cinnamon, KDE, MATE, GNOME and Xfce flavours of Korora are available.
The ISO image of
Korora 23 Cinnamon 64-bit is 2.1 Gb in size. I downloaded it and "burnt" onto a USB stick using the
dd command.
The stick is in the port of my
Toshiba laptop. Reboot. Choose to boot from USB. Let's go!
