As our regular readers will already know, if nothing happens there will be a ninth flavor of Ubuntu in the coming months. It is not known when, if in 12 months, if in 18 or in 24, but we do know that it will be called Ubuntu Cinnamon and that it will use the graphical environment that Linux Mint creates. Until now few details were known, but from today we can already know what will be what is currently known as Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix, or its project, to be more exact.
But we have to remain skeptical. What the official count it's what Ubuntu Cinnamon looks like right now, but everything could and will change when the stable release occurs. What we see in the image is an Ubuntu with colors, theme and icons different from what we know that use the graphical environment Cinnamon 4.0.10. We can also see that it uses the Linux 5.3 kernel and that it is running on Virtualbox, Oracle's virtual machine software.

Hello everyone, while Debian has released #CinnamonDesktop version 4.0.10 by @Linux_Minton Sid and @ubuntuEoan, while we thank you, we would also like to announce not that new thing, but our new themes, which we will share with the world!
The differences with the rest of the Ubuntu flavors are obvious: the first thing that catches your attention is the start menu icon, although it is more than likely that it will change to the Ubuntu Cinnamon that you have heading this article when the launch is official and stable. . Also striking is the orange color and folder design, but some shapes and icons are more familiar to us because they resemble those of Ubuntu Budgie.
If you are wondering when we can test it ("some ETA?"), The project manager said that we could try something before the release of Eoan Ermine, that is, before the 17th of this month. It will not be a version that is worth installing on production equipment, but it will help us to take a real first look at what will become the ninth official Ubuntu flavor. Until then, the image they have shared should serve to calm us a bit ... or just the opposite. What do you think of the theme that Ubuntu Cinnamon uses right now?
No ... I don't like the subject at all. I like Suru ++ Ubuntu. Anyway, the default theme is changed and the issue resolved.
Right now I am working with Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon + Suru.
Great idea from Ubuntu Cinnamon. Open that to test it.
