Fedora Proposal To Use Cinnamon Desktop By Default

Originally posted by VoodooSyxx View PostSo I amusedly read all 23 pages of this thread, and only then decided I needed to create an account and toss in my 2 cents. Seriously people? There's an awful lot of trolling and just outright stupidity in this thread. Cinnamon is alright, but it's been in the Fedora repos for a hot minute and we've got people screaming that it should be the ever coveted DEFAULT. Please, just stop. There's no true default in Fedora anyway. In fact most distros don't have a default anymore. Hasn't been that way for quite a while now, since everyone and their damned dog jumped onto the Ubuntu model of spinning out a separate live cd for every possible desktop option.
I'm sure that by Fedora 19 or 20, someone will take a few hours out of their day to respin Fedora with Cinnamon. Probably one for Gnome2OnLifeSupport as well. This all is to say that any argument for default positioning is really an argument over a symlink on the front page of fedoraproject.org. If it means that much to you, make the respin yourself. Call it CinnamonRtheBestestLOLZ v1.0 and put a symlink on the front page of your site with top billing and giant arrows flashing and pointing at the link. Be sure to add an audio track that plays at full volume when you hit that page and exclaims that Cinnamon is the default, and you've accepted it as your lord and saviour and it will save us all! Hell it probably cures cancer too!

I'm sure there will be a Cinnamon spin at some point. Spins aren't all that difficult to do with the infrastructure Fedora has in place for it and someone will take the initiative to do it. That said, it will never be the "default". There really is no point whatsoever in making it so.

With less fail this time. There are different spins for each of the major desktops. Each desktop being the default for it's particular spin. What is it you people want? One spin to rule them all, with Cinnamon being the only desktop on the ISO and no other ISO available?

Maybe because you're entire post is bullshit? Thanks, see you.Last edited by VoodooSyxx; 04 February 2013, 12:09 AM.

Usually when it start you can switch to the last page in the thread directly. Normally people use the same argument there as on the first page and have done so in all the pages between.Last edited by Akka; 03 February 2013, 01:26 PM.
