You don't have to use mint to love Cinnamon desktop. I run it on vanilla Debian on my little-used emergency laptop and on vanilla Arch on my beloved tower build.
The appearance and workflow of this desktop is what Windows used to have ages ago when it was fit to use as an operating system.
Now I would never go back to Windows with all the malware that it's become in and of itself and am learning to love Linux. But that doesn't mean I have to adapt to a completely alien work flow on my favorite toy. No matter what distro I'm on, I know exactly what settings and themes I like on Cinnamon to make it look and feel like -my computer.-

Yo , what do you think of Linux Lite? I'm using it and Zorin on 15 plus year old computers , I seem to like Linux Lite better than cinnamon , mint , or Zorin. Just for general internet use , YouTube and moving files , Thats all them machines gonna be used for. I have a T3500 that's my main machine and which ever I choose on the old machines will make it to the T3500 2nd OS. I'm thinking , which ever is fastest on the old machines should really get rolling on on the T3500 almost old computer. 10 is on T3500 at moment. Your thoughts??

I kind of like the kde desktop because of how incredibly flexible it is but it has to be will implemented into the disto to work will. So I was using Feren OS, Great OS and the creator has some great ideas but will, It's kind of like kde 5 years ago and for newbies needs a little more work to be ready for prime time. Iv'e switched to MX kde and I'm hoping with there track record to be using it for many years to come any thoughts?

I just started out on Linux this February and so I am on Linux Mint: Cinnamon. I do want to branch out and check out other Distros like you recommend and Environments. I have changed the Cinnamon Environment a bit to fee like more of Windows so I can get used to things as I learn more. Once I can afford to build a new PC, I will go advance and try out Arch based and go from there.

I like deepin or gnome but I use a bunch of gnome extensions with gnome and change the wallpaper to make it do some of the things I want it to. I still would rather have the deepin style category based app menu but the only gnome ecyension I can find to do that sucks and I don-t know how to make my own yet

I love playing with Plasma 5 and kde neon, BUT when it comes down to it xfce is what makes me feel comfy, have to agree with the comments about it being as ugly as sin and that the developers do themselves no favours with the look out of the box but it's not hard to get it looking stunning.

I started with cinnamon on mint, just installed plasma over the top. Like it so far, but every time i reboot, everything on the panel shifts to the left. Its crazy how light it is compared to cinnamon considering how many more animations there are.

I like MATE a lot, but prefer the Dolphin file manager, because you can have video thumbnails. Any advice on what desktop environment might be better for me? Dolphin runs kind of janky in MATE. Cinnamon???

Chris Try MX-Linux -Try looking at it. Have used it for older PCs, especially laptop. Out of the box - give it a try. Think it's fine for new non technical users.
Uses it now instead of Lubuntu and XFCE

MATE is my alltime favourite.
I'm using SparkyLinux, Debian based distribution. Nowadays it has Xfce on default, so that's my -backup- desktop environment if something goes wrong with MATE.
