Cindy<\/p><\/div>\n

I just updated Sandbox to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS but it was such a dog update, I decided it was time for a real change.<\/p>\n

I totally blew everything off the Sandbox C: drive and did a bare bones partitioning and formatting using Linux MINT – LMDE3 Cindy 64 bit OS. The LMDE is an acronym for Linux Mint Debian Edition. The Cindy hints at the default \u201cCinnamon\u201d desktop. Here is the link: https:\/\/www.linuxmint.com\/download_lmde.php<\/a><\/p>\n

Normal Linux MINT uses Ubuntu as its base file source. Ubuntu uses Debian as its source. So the LMDE3 just cuts out the middle man by going direct to Debian.<\/p>\n

I am not going to try promoting one OS over another. I was disappointed in the new Ubuntu 18.xx LTS release and decided I needed a new \u201crow to hoe\u201d as OSes go.<\/p>\n

Sandbox has always been my ongoing experimental box for trying new operating systems. This is another phase in the process.<\/p>\n

My first impression is LMDE3 Cindy blows the socks of the previous OS. Yeah, they are both Debian-ish Linux but there are differences to be appreciated, considered and hopefully enjoyed. Like the jar of Cinnamon Atomic Fireballs in the foreground.<\/p>\n

Did I mention the desktop design is called \u201cCinnamon\u201d?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
