• Why is Nemo the WORST part of Linux Mint?
  2 projects | /r/linuxmint | 1 Aug 2023

  EDIT 2: This is the second bug I described.

• Is F38 stable enough or would you stay with F37?
  1 project | /r/Fedora | 17 May 2023

  b) issues specific to the cinnamon desktop or nemo file manager that appear to be present upsteam in linux mint also (cinnamon seems less stable in general to me with it needing to be restarted more, there is a known issue with drag-and-drop, etc)

• Would upgrading from Fedora 37 to 38 have more issues if I update in a few months vs now?
  1 project | /r/Fedora | 1 May 2023

  Depending on what features you use, your hardware, and which DE you prefer, you may have relatively few issues. I recommend reading around here and fedora forums but for example, I've had some minor issues with Fedora 38 Cinnamon Spin but mostly just little nitpick stuff (nothing that really impacts my workflow). example: there's a drag-and-drop issue currently open with Nemo file manager that happens on some display setups in very specific scenarios and has some workarounds (technically this was also present in F37 too) and yesterday I had an issue where my mouse cursor went past the right edge of the screen until I rebooted. But all of my apps, VMs, etc work fine. The only change I had to make in my post-setup scripts for F38 was to remove ogmtools, rdfind, and chromium-freeworld from my list of apps to install (apparently for chromium freeworld, things have been resolved upstream so it's no longer even needed to get the same effect so it is being discontinued in favor of the regular chromium package)

• F38 (Cinnamon): mouse cursor not stopping at right edge of screen on HDMI tv
  2 projects | /r/Fedora | 30 Apr 2023

  I tried a few searches through open cinnamon issues but nothing really stood out yet OTOH, I know some of the recent changes to Nemo/Cinnamon had caused issues which I've run into myself in F37 (such as the new themes, some Nemo drag-and-drop issues, and another issue with Nemo's input focus when clicking the toolbar button to a new folder while you are renaming a file) so still plausible this could be a Cinnamon-specific bug.

• Edge resistance window no longer available
  1 project | /r/CinnamonDE | 20 Dec 2022

  You should open an issue here, I do not see anything like this reported yet: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/issues

• Is it possible for the Cinnamon window tiling/snapping feature to work in thirds rather than halves?
  2 projects | /r/linuxmint | 10 Nov 2022
• Why Ubuntu 22.04 is so fast (and how to make it faster)
  1 project | /r/linux | 2 Sep 2022

  I don't know. Here - the natural place to look - it does not say.

• Help resolving issues with Xmonad + Cinnamon's update to 5.4.10
  2 projects | /r/xmonad | 23 Aug 2022

  In 5.4.10 it looks like (?) UI scaling has moved into Muffin, which isn't being used with Xmonad (although does give Cinnamon some nice per-screen scaling!), so I can

• Why linux mint cinnamon removed the vsync method in Cinnamon Settings (/usr/bin/cinnamon-settings) > General (Mischellanous Cinnamon preferences)?
  1 project | /r/linuxmint | 21 Aug 2022

  This is the right answer - it's mentioned in the PR for the mutter rebase: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/pull/601

• Now with the Muffin update in new Cinnamon, will blur effect become a possibility?
  1 project | /r/linuxmint | 21 Aug 2022

  The issue tracker would be a better place to make feature requests: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/issues
