Removing Cinnamon from Ubuntu
Understandably, you may want to take out Cinnamon. First, switch back 
to GNOME any desktop space you used before.
Now, delete the Cinnamon package:
$ sudo apt to remove cinnamon
If you have used PPA to install Cinnamon, you should also remove the 
PPA from your list:
$ Sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa: embrosyn / cinnamon
After logging in, the following processes are started automatically:
• Cinnamon-session (session manager that starts all other processes)
• Cinnamon (the visible part of the Cinnamon desktop)
• Nemo-desktop (with desktop icons and desktop content menu)
• Cinnamon-screensaver (screensaver)
• various csd- * processes (which are daemon plugin settings and run-
ning in the background)
The Nemo process begins when you browse files and directories. It stays 
open as long as at least one file manager window is open. The Cinnamon 
settings process starts when you open System Settings and stays open as 
long as at least one configuration module is turned on.
CINNAMON LIBRARIES
Cinnamon-Menus
The Cinnamon menus library provides reading and monitoring activi-
ties for a set of computer-based desktop applications. Cinnamon menus 
can quickly add a list of installed apps to the program menu, download 
menu system icons, alt-tab selector, and window list, and keep this data 
synced whenever applications are installed or removed from a computer. 
The Cinnamon menus library is built in C, and the source code is available 
on Github.
