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.
