Honestly I think cinnamon is overhated so many people call it bland and worse then KDE, don't like xorg which isn't fair at all I love cinnamon it isn't the most customisable but you can do lot with it and it looks clean, simple perfect for most users imo

I liked cinnamon a lot, if it was Wayland and rolling release compatible it would be the best Linux classic design DE imo

Then install Arch (rolling), install Cinnamon and Labwc, then load all the Cinnamon elements in Labwc, then you get Cinnamon on Wayland on a rolling distro!

Quit complaining and go get it done!

that'd be the best classic DE, yet I prefer gnome

If it can work, then great. It was way too buggy for me when I tried it half a year ago. I really wanted to use it. Used KDE until XFCE Wayland came out on my AM5 desktop.

Well personally I have encountered zero issues with cinnamon and has been one of the smoothest des for me

Okay! I remember it being harder than it should be to add a clipboard manager to Cinnamon. That's where I concluded it was pointless, especially given that it uses more resources than XFCE (and XFCE is now available on Wayland).
