Have you ever tried Cinnamon? (It's native to Linux Mint, but also runs well on Pop!_OS)

I've seen some people discuss it before and have seen some screenshots but I've never personally used it. I've never been that interested in trying Linux Mint before, but what are it's advantages over other distros? Have you used it?

I used it for over a year. It has its pros and cons, but it's certainly the most Windows-like UI. Very polished interface, but with all the refined control of GNOME 3.

Personally, I like running Cinnamon on Pop!_OS, though.

Awesome, I'll have to try both Mint and Pop!_OS out soon then!

Cool! When you do, see this: Pop!_OS: Change the Desktop Environment
