Clement Lefebvre, lead developer of Linux Mint , has announced the first “fully stable” version of its new GNOME 2.x-like “Cinnamon 1.2″ for k of the GNOME 3.x desktop environment is now available for not only Mint, but for Ubuntu 11.10, Fedora 16, OpenSUSE 12.1, Arch Linux, and Gentoo. The Cinnamon interface looks and works a lot like the popular GNOME 2.x interface, but it’s built on top of the GNOME 3.x infrastructure. It was created because many people, including Linux’s creator, Linus Torvalds dislike the new GNOME 3.x interface . Lefebvre tried to work with the GNOME developers to make a more user-friendly GNOME, but they weren’t interested.
