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.

I did not know that there were common devs across Cinnamon and MATE.
I know that Mint wants to have app collaboration ( Xapps ) between Cinnamon, MATE, and XFCE. That makes more sense now.
These are then major GTK desktops that are not GNOME. GNOME apps are increasingly GNOME only so it makes sense for the rest of them to collaboration on a GTK experience that is not GNOME.
