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.
There are some core features that all desktop environments try to fulfill while offering additional features. In the case of Cinnamon and MATE, both are inspired by GNOME 2, you can find a lot of similarities. Linux Mint Cinnamon features Nemo file manager. It’s a lightweight file manager and uses GNOME Terminal as the default terminal emulator.
