cinnamon desktop?
« on: September 21, 2015, 03:56:03 AM »
hi,

my son is showing an interest in TC, but prefers the cinnamon desktop.  what would it take to be able to bring that wm to TC?  is that something someone here is willing to do?  or are there instructions somewhere?

thanks.

Being a Gnome fork, it's likely quite an ordeal to get working, and consists of dozens of packages.

Juanito has built Gnome 3 for Corepure64 which doesn't seem to have been easy.
I think it's available in the 64bit repo, so might be an option for your son.

the gnome-3.16.x desktop is available in the corepure64 repo.

gnome-session is used to start the desktop, but be aware that this is likely to pull in +/-250 additional extensions, depending on how many you have to start with.

Maybe you could start with the above and, if that's not to your son's liking, attempt to build cinnamon starting from the existing extensions in the corepure64 repo?
