Applets. Desktop Wallpaper To change the desktop background on the Cinnamon desktop, right-click on the desktop and select “Change Desktop Background.” It will open an easy-to-use window, where the system folders are available on the left side, and in the mounting window, there is a preview of photos within each folder.

At the bottom left is a Menu button that opens the app launcher, similar to the Windows Start menu. Here you can open the software, access your files, and change the system settings. At the bottom right, there are sys- tem indicators. At this point, you can have the option to switch users, connect to a network, view battery life, check the time, and check the calendar. The rest of the panel shows all open windows on your desktop. Unlike GNOME and other Linux links, Cinnamon lets you place icons on the desktop without installing additional software or modifying hidden settings. While auto-creation does not start new, it is very customizable. You can change themes and icons under Settings, and since it uses such an old- fashioned method, it comes with a number of themes. Then there are the desklets. These are the widgets you can put on your desktop and perform simple tasks, such as showing you the weather, keeping a quick note, or monitoring your CPU usage.

However, it only uses the version of Cinnamon 3.6 as you see using the apt show command. There used to be an official PPA from the Cinnamon group of Ubuntu, but it no longer exists. Do not give up. There is an illegal PPA available, and it works perfectly. This PPA contains a version of Cinnamon 4.2, which is not the latest but better than 3.6. Open the terminal and apply the following instructions: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa: embrosyn / cinnamon $ sudo apt update && sudo apt to add cinnamon It will download files up to 150 MB in size. This also provides you with Nemo (Nautilus fork) and Cinnamon Control Center. These bonus fea- tures give a Linux Mint experience.
