      It’s really similar to Windows in how you use it. Switching between Windows 11 and Cinnamon is as seamless as it can be.

      There’s almost no configuration or anything necessary, you just install it and it’s great.

      cinnamon is lighter and simpler and looks more like the best version of windows (7)

        I can’t see how looking like a 14 year old version of Windows (as opposed to a newer version) is an advantage for people coming from Windows.

          windows 7 was simpler and lighter, and as far as i know, everyone i know prefers it over 10 or 11

          7 just worked better, had a lot less bloat, so people who liked it will be happy and nostalgic when they see something theyre used to

          Yeah np. For example my dad got bogged down by all the options and features in KDE, but cinnamon was great cause it just launches apps and shows the time lol

            Got it! I tend to forget that not everyone can deal with tons of options. I am this person in certain config files like synapse and telegraf. The config files are just impossibly long and getting an overview of them is impossible in my mind.
