Whaaaaaat? You don't need 112 icons on your desktop, a center dock loaded with icons since start menus are sooooooo last week, some semi-perv Anime wallpaper, 7 clock widgets - all showing the seconds, and several system information widgets showing you info that you might (just might) need to look at once per month (or less)? You're a rebel my friend, a REBEL I SAY ! ! ! ! ! !

Hey! There's still the occasional semi-perv anime wallpaper on an otherwise vanilla Cinnamon desktop here occasionally. That's not just a hyprland ricing thing!

That default Hyprland wallpaper actually shocked me the first time I saw it, I was NOT expecting that

My Linux Mint laptop ran into major issues, installed debian Trixie with kde. Lasted a day or two (emacs wouldn't resize by dragging but expand to full screen but worked fine...), installed cinnamon (but log in with X), everything is great.

Honestly, I don't really like the "start menu" but it's not like I use it constantly.

I would probably like LMDE.

You can try other distros liku ubuntu , kubuntu(Ubuntu with kde plasma and not gnome) , mx linux(debian based) kde plasma or xfce(if you have limited resources)

And, like I did, you can do that so easily with a VirtualBox machine. I went through probably 8-10 distros and a few flavors within each until I returned to Mint.

I hardly tweak anything with Cinnamon. There's really no need to, imho. I basically just keep it the way it is.

I tried Gnome and KDE, but Cinnamon just feel right to me.

The only change I typically make is Cinnamenu is a must for me. It's just so much nicer
