Pretty Ubuntu


I love Ubuntu. But since it moved from Gnome2 to Unity desktop, I can't use it anymore. By other words, I hate Unity. Fortunately, there is great project Linux Mint, based on Ubuntu (and Debian, for you choice); and it is very good alternative to use. Linux Mint guys developed its own desktop environment, called Cinnamon, and it is convenient, clear-looking and, btw, open source. It is fork of Gnome shell, based on Gtk+3, so you are able to run a lot of Gnome-compatible applications.

Sometimes it's impossible to install any linux distro you want, but Ubuntu only (for example, restrictions of you company policy). In this post I will describe how to make you Ubuntu look like Linux Mint.
