Hey 👋 dear Linux Community,
(infosec.exchange)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

@voxel @linux I do little or nothing to optimize Cinnamon beyond looking at the Startup Applications to see if there's anything I don't need.
Linux Mint's newest release is very nice, with Cinnamon at version 6.04. It's showing the benefits of refining an existing product rather than layering on new features. (If you use touchpad gestures, the new configuration options are useful.)
Fedora's Cinnamon spin is also excellent, if you prefer something other than Mint's Ubuntu-based product.

I'm pretty happy with Linux Mint so far, never tried Fedora, but I will take a look on it
Where can I find them?
@voxel @linux The "Gestures" preference tool in Systems Settings.
@Corb_The_Lesser @linux Oh. Thank you a lot! Never discovered this lol
