What did you mean when you said your cinnamon is lighter on the resources than original cinnamon? If I or anyone else were to `sudo apt install cinnamon`, we'd have the original cinnamon... right? So what else did you do in order to make your lower resources Diet Cinnamon?

I guess he means something else by "original cinnamon? Maybe he means older version?koesherbacon wrote: Sat Aug 04, 2018 11:08 pm What did you mean when you said your cinnamon is lighter on the resources than original cinnamon?

BTW, I tried and liked how it looks, but when I returned to Xfce I felt like I'm at home. Also the difference between resource utilization between Xfce and Cinnamon is pretty significant, Cinnamon uses almost double the memory.

That's probably because the Ubuntu base of Mint is heavier and slower than Debian base, that's all. Not that Cinnamon desktop is faster when installed manually.

I would venture another explanation, because MX base is lighter than Mint base so if you load Cinnamon on top it will still be lighter, with Mint he probably hits some memory barriers on his system which makes the entire system slower.asqwerth wrote: Sun Aug 05, 2018 5:32 am That's probably because the Ubuntu base of Mint is heavier and slower than Debian base, that's all.

Cinnamon on LMDE 3 with most of the effects turned off idled at 610 mb ram use. I like Cinnamon best when I have around 4gb of ram because it is heavier overall than Xfce, but I have run Cinnamon on 2 gb ram, though wouldn't recommend it for 2 gb ram when Xfce is lighter on low ram. Yet Cinnamon has become quite nice.

I agree, it's quite nice, I liked how it looked when I briefly tried it and it seems like all things worked as they should.
Re: Mx Linux With Cinnamon

With both Mint Cinnamon 17 and 18, I would boot at 700 mb ram and quickly rise above 900.
And that was with effects disabled. I was never able to lower it to what others said.
The same happened a couple of weeks ago when for fun I tried out Cinnamon on MX.
It's pretty, but like Adrian said, I'm at home now with XFCE.

I have used/tested both the old and the new Cinnamon, as issued by Mint in their various spins including LMDE3Beta.
subjectively, the new version is noticeably faster.
maybe it is just the way Mint packages it, I don't know or much care. It does not appeal to me.
PS: in a T61 Thinkpad it was so slow I thought that old 5400 RPM HDD had failed... that test was Very short ;-)

In my case It was because nmgtk missing.
run
sudo apt install gir1.2-nmgtk-1.0
If not found run
sudo apt-cache search nmgtk
and install the available version

Just installed MX today, on USB for now, and its been amazing!
Used Synaptic Package Manager to install Cinnamon DE: ran cinnamon is search, then selected cinnamon-desktop-environment from list, mark for install (as with the pop-up window for other needed items), and then apply. No command prompt needed...
Looks good so far and will probably test more on a SSD tomorrow – excellent OS!
OS – MX 18.3 Continuum (x86-64)
Cinnamon Version – 3.2.7
Linux Kernel – 4.19.0-5-amd64
Processor – Celeron G4900 @ 3.10GHz x 2
Memory – 15.5 GiB
Hard Drive – 27.3 GB (actually a USB flash drive)

I've tried this, the nmgtk fix above worked for me.
One problem I still have is that I can't download the additional panel applets. The ones already installed work.

What version of cinnamon you had?
Is there any way you can try to install Cinnamon 4?
