Cinnamon is a free and open-source desktop environment by the Linux Mint team with a traditional and easy to navigate design model and is similar to the Xfce, MATE, and GNOME 2. Cinnamon was a product of dissatisfaction with GNOME team's abandonment of a traditional desktop experience in April 2011. Since October 2013 (version 2.0 onwards), Cinnamon is no longer a frontend on top of the GNOME desktop like Unity or GNOME Shell, but a discrete desktop environment in its own. Cinnamon is still built on GNOME technologies and uses GTK, however, it no longer requires GNOME itself to be installed.
