Linux Mint 14, "Nadia"

The newest Linux Mint 14, nicknamed Nadia, uses the fine Cinnamon desktop. Based on the Gnome 3 libraries it is equipped with a hierarchical start menu and all the ergonomic features that the new Gnome Shell is missing. Simplicity rules!

Generally all desktops except Unity from Ubuntu and the new Gnome Shell are usable. Just these two main ones are going strange ways. It is hard to understand that the developers behind them are still trying to ignore all the criticism that comes back from users.

I liked it. It is fast and there is nothing superfluous. Seems to be the best news from the world of Linux for me for a long time.
