Coming soon: Cinnamon available in the Debian repositories

To the approval of many users, Cinnamon could be arriving very soon to the official repositories of Debian, cataloged as an innovative and comfortable desk.

From what I can understand following this link (and as a curious fact I ask you to take a look at the packages that come out in this other), the packages related to Cinnamon and the question would be will it be available for the launch of Debian 7?

If this is the case, users of Ubuntu of course, and I think there is another question in this case: Is it Cinnamon the possible alternative that it provides Debian against Gnome Shell?

    They hadn't already announced that the next stable version of Debian would come out with XFCE by default?
    I want to try Cinnamon 😀

      I enjoy Cinnamon on LinuxMint 13 since it came out.
      You will not regret it.

      Greetings.

    I highly doubt that Cinnamon will enter Wheezy's repos now that it is frozen, let's not even joke 😉

    Yes it will be for Debian 8, codename Jessie.

    If they are pears or apples, it would be best to wait, although something is certain in debian testing they will be available.

    I doubt they will put it in Debian 7, as it is already frozen. Now in Testing for sure.

    Why doesn't the Xubuntu icon, which is my distro, appear in my comments? I've seen it appear to other users.

      Hello
      You have to put a piece of information in the Firefox UserAgent, so that Firefox indicates that you use Xubuntu, here is a tutorial that will help you: https://blog.desdelinux.net/tips-como-cambiar-el-user-agent-de-firefox/

    Good news, but to enter Wheezy I see the desktop very green

      We are already two who see the same.

      I do not see it so green, but it will not enter due to lack of time. Wheezy has already been frozen and if it did not enter Testing, less Stable.

    I like this desktop but it still needs to be in stable, I suppose it will be in testing for Debian 8

    Debian stable moves in geological time, not for the impatient. Cinnamon is coming to Debian stable, but all in good time ... all in good time ...

    Tremendous news ... In fact, Cinnamon is already in the Fedora repos ..

    There will come a point where Gnome will introduce himself along with Cinnamon ..

      And in those of OpenSUSE for some time now ...

    To taste the colors, from my point of view it would be good if they include all the links so that the user can choose which one to use ...

    1.    rots87 said

      Sorry, writing problems at work hahaha, I meant that they had to choose any desktop environment so that we can choose

    great!

    I don't particularly like Cinnamon or unity, I prefer Gnome3 😀

    But I think it is very good news that Cinnamon (and why not unity too) enters the debian repos
    +1

      It would be nice if Unity was in the official Debian repositories. But it has already been talked about how difficult it is to port it to other distributions today. Canonical would have to put in a bit of their part, to make the job easier.

      That aside, the latest stable version of Unity works great. I have tested it on a netbook, and the most amazing thing is that in general the entire OS (Ubuntu) only consumes 280mb of ram. Not before, but now if I have to recommend a distribution to start with, I would recommend Ubuntu with its default desktop, Unity.

        Although there is a group that already managed to port it to Fedora, but it is still a very early implementation
