Summary

In this jam-packed chapter, the Cinnamon desktop environment was covered in depth. First, we explored what Cinnamon is and how it fits in with other desktop environments such as GNOME and KDE. Next, we discussed logging in to the environment and how to launch applications. We also covered task management, switching between workspaces, and notifications. In addition, some of the bundled applications were listed, Nemo was featured, and then we configured the Cinnamon settings and themes.

In the following chapter, we'll get started with executing shell commands in the terminal to boost your knowledge even further. We'll cover how to access the Linux shell, manage files without a GUI, navigate the filesystem, and more!
