Installed Cinnamon on Ubuntu. Is it considered Linux Mint or Ubuntu?
I installed Cinnamon on my Ubuntu OS. Am I still using Ubuntu or Linux Mint when I use the Cinnamon desktop environment?
Solution 1:
Ubuntu with a Cinnamon desktop environment is still considered Ubuntu: a Linux distribution is far more than just a desktop environment. Distributions differ by several default packages. For instance, since 15.04 Ubuntu is switching to another init system, which brings up services. Mint as far as I know, on the other hand, is still using upstart.
Solution 2:
Cinnamon on Ubuntu is still Ubuntu - it's just a desktop environment.
It's on topic here as well.

Solution 3:
You're still using Ubuntu, with a different DE.
