Announcement Hi everyone! I am THRILLED to announce that Ubuntu Cinnamon is now part of the Ubuntu flavor family. This is such a milestone, not only for me personally, but also the Ubuntu community. The future is bright! Personal Statement Four years of my life for this. I couldn’t be happier. Ubuntu Cinnamon started as a small idea in my head, in 2019. I was ELEVEN. I didn’t think it would be easy, but I didn’t think it would be as challenging as it was. A lot of hurdles were overcome-but with this experience I spoke at FOSDEM 2022, got accepted to one of the best schools in the United State ..read more

Hello everyone! I’m so happy to announce the latest release, the 22.10 “Kinetic Kudu!” This was not an easy release cycle; it came super fast and release came before we knew it. We thank you all so much for your support! We plan to begin the flavor status application for 23.04. Our release notes can be found here in our Beta Announcement. A standard system upgrade will suffice – running ‘sudo do-release-upgrade’ (when upgrades are enabled) will get your system up and running. And, our packages are now in the main Ubuntu archive so there is no need to re-add the Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix PPA! Enjoy ..read more

Hello everyone, This is a personal developer update for myself. No, the project is not dead. It will just be a bit quiet these next few months. Let me explain why. I got accepted into a magnet school – for those who don’t know, it is a regular high school but you have to apply to get in. It has a near 100% graduation and college preparation rate, and is a long application process (Essay, math test, interview and for those who got in, placement math test). However, I will be leaving my school district and my time with my friends is now more limited than ever. With electives/after-school activit ..read more

Hello everyone! I am proud to present to you, the sixth ever Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix release, and second ever Long Term Support release – the 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish! This release has been two years in the making, and I am so grateful for everyone who helped – through quality assurance/testing, bug squashing, general development, and those across the different Ubuntu teams. The only thing I’m upset about is that Ubiquity currently does not have a theme set if you are not in the live session with Cinnamon in the background. I had to fix the background and screen tearing issues, so I did not have th ..read more
