Like others have said, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. Once I get my new SSD I’ll be moving to Linux and will only use windows for apps or features I can’t find in Linux.
I switched a year ago. There is nothing i can't do on Linux. It sometimes just takes a bit or research. But atm Linux distributions are rapidly evolving and i find myself more and more thinking "Oh, this i couldn't have done that with windows"
@@lor7780 Most stuff plays nice with Wine/Proton. And for the "apps" that just don't behave, there are native alternatives. Btw, i dislike the word "app". An app is a shitty piece of software for mobile phones that drains your battery for no additional value. Programs on the other hand... 🙂
My weather Applet shows no sun, only rain. 😢 Maybe a bug? 🤣Thank you for this tutorial. I'm a Linux newbie (MS-Windows 11 user🙈). I'm passionate about Linux Mint. It's so user-friendly. My old Thinkpad X240 is running again. It's so fast and smooth.😍
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I used it as a guide and I really like the way my desktop looks now. Following this configuration method I ran into a little problem, and I would like to share a few comments about it. My computer is running Linux Mint 21.2 and Cinnamon 5.8.4, with an Intel i5 CPU and Nvidia GPU. When the computer wakes up after being in sleep mode, the text in the panels disappears, and the panels are no longer transparent. The problem seems to be the transparency extension. After some reading, it seems this issue is not new; however, a (not very elegant) workaround goes as follows: 1) go to "extensions", and click on the gear icon of "transparent panels"; 2) once the config window for transparent panels appears, click on the "more options" icon (three horizontal bars in the upper right corner); and 3) select "reload transparent panels". This quick fix recovers the expected appearance of the panels. It's a bit annoying but much less than looking for and killing the panel processes in the terminal and then relaunch it.
Hi! Thank you for the tutorial. The only thing I haven't been able to set up is the "Transparent panels" on my applets is actually missing. Am I doing something wrong?
I don't need this tutorial, but I liked the look and found the video pleasant to watch. It's well done! Only thing I would change in the theme is the cinnamon menu icon. I'd either change it to the bento box menu, or at least just make it smaller. alternatively, I'd add it to the "dock" at the bottom, for a more "mac os"-y feel.
I came here to know if Cinnamon looks more beautiful than GNOME 46. I will install a GNOME 46 Linux later to do a test to know if GNOME 46 can have the beautiful desktop same as the one in this video. Thank you for this video.
It looks like new users of Mint have been using your video recently to customize their own desktops. I just saw this linked in the forums today. That is a beautiful wallpaper. Do you happen to still have the link to that?
it is better to install plank and apply it at bottom instead of adding another panel. Only then, the setup will somewhat look like gnome desktop, if you really want it to look like gnome desktop. Also, it is better to keep top panel fixed rather than in hide mode so that the top panel won't cover close, minimise, maximize buttons on top corner.
I made a decision. I decided to go with cinnamon desktop on debian. For know i use official ubuntu and latest version has serious problems because in every new release of official ubuntu they tie more and more stuff to snap packaging. Cannonical seems to have plan to make official ubuntu snap dependent completely. If you like ubuntu avoid official ubuntu and go with derivatives or any flavour such as ubuntu mate,kubuntu,lubuntu etc. but avoid official ubuntu unless you don't mind snaps.
Man, I know I'm gonna regret it, but I'm sick of Windows already. Thanks for these tips. On my setup, I will get rid of the top bar (can't stand Ubuntu double, because of both the top bar, and side), and will do my best to avoid the terminal messing up the whole experience, for the hundredth time ☺️. Sorry, but I belong to the 96-98% of pc users, who don't find fun searching for command lines to copy off the internet, to paste in that damn terminal, just to fix the stupidest little problem that pops up, when everywhere else you fix much more complex problems in the matter of a few button clicks.

@@DasIllu I agree to an extent. I'm still waiting/hoping that valorents anti cheat will work on Linux but right now it does not unfortunately.
@@DasIllui mean there are certain apps that don’t work with linux, isnt that just a fact

@@lor7780 of course, but the rapid improvement over the last five years certainly promises good things in the next five.
to the point, no bs. tutorial videos should be more like this.
true
every tutorial should not be locked behind a paywall either
This is what i was looking for. Simple, Easy to understand, Easy to implement. Thank you.
Thanks. This is one of the most beautiful tutorials I've ever seen 😂
This is amazing, you fixed every problem I had with mints UI. I didnt think it would be possible
Good. Clean and pretty default desktop without a lot of external mods.
0:44 ahh yes, I love my "fork monitor" 👌
your educational manner is amazing, thankyou for this
Thanks mate. Your sharing is giving a new breath to old pc.
Very nice theme. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for the amazing tutorial! :D
This was great thank you. I've switched over to using linux full time now and this guide was easy and concise to follow.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial, my Spiral Linux desktop is now minimalistically elegant
I'm on LMDE6-- and LOVE it.... came back to mint (debian version) after starting there years ago and going through about a 100 other distros.... :)
Exactly what i was looking for! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for this. Very easy to make minor adjust to suit my style. Looks great!
Seriously man, you're a G for this. I love the new desktop look, thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you for sharing! I have transformed my Linux Mint as you did! And it looks slick baby!
That's an amazing setup, I'll definitely try it when I instal Linux Mint, probably next week. Thanks a lot!
very well done, thank you - simple, clear instructions and well presented

Mayb you live in England :P
Very straight forward. Just got into linux. Thanks mate.
exactly what i was looking for
please make more... the video was super helpful, plus the accent is awesome
Thank you for such a great tutorial. It was easy to follow, and I like the results!
really nice, concise and effective, thanks.
Very clean, I like this setup a lot

I was actually digging the default panel choices Linux Mint came with since it resembled Windows but this looks very cool too!
Honestly I liked the fact that it is very Windows-like more than this Mac-like style.
@@guyman1570 Yeah, and I've used a Mac before in school so I would be fine with a Linux that looks like Mac too.
Hey Jean, congratulations! It's an excellent tutorial, minimalist just like the personalization of your setup. Thanks for sharing.
i love watching Linux customizations
Very nice changes you have made to Mint.
Thanks for a clear and easy to follow tutorial!
Brilliant! Mint could come this way, it's as nice or better than stock imho.
Very well done and I almost done the same thing to mine yesterday. You showed me some mods that I well also try. Thank you.
GNOME-ifying Cinnamon 👍 Well done!
Hi! Thank you for the tutorial. The only thing I haven't been able to set up is the "Transparent panels" on my applets is actually missing. Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you. It's a great tutorial, just what I need for my Linux Mint fresh install.

V good. Well demonstrated, nice and efficient.
Looks gorgeous man, Imma do that in a couple minutes. :)
Great beginner tutorial, thank you.
Thanks man. I'm coming from kde plasma and the customization was a pain in the ass. I feel more comfortable with cinnamon now.
Very inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to share
thank you so much i relly love how detailed and easy it was to follow through.
Amazing tutorial. Subbed.

Wow, so sieht Cinnamon ja mal richtig gut aus.
Mal ne andere Frage, werden die Panels auch auf allen anderen Bildschirmen angezeigt/gespiegelt?
Perfect!! Thank you so much for this
very nice, I like your style.. thank you for sharing
Good job explaining it step by step.
what I exactly I've been looking for.. thanks !!
Ach cool ich habe gerade festgestellt dass dies hier das equivalent zum deutschen Kanal ist😊
Perfect!! Thank you for this
Fantastic tutorial.
Vielen Dank für das gute Video! Mein Abo hast du!
Excellent video!!! Thanks.
Man I had one problem with Linux mint and that was too old fashioned UI. But now I know we can make it extremely awesome. Wow ..
👍 Very good tutorial, thanks! What mic setup are you using?
Very good tutorial, easy to follow along.
Nice and clean,thanks and keep up good work:):)
Simply great!
Great Video. Thank you!
very helpful, and strait forward, thank you.
Next time you showcase your theme, demonstrate more windows and apps to show how they pick on the theme and their fresh look :)
oh lord, this is the best customization so far, and is exactly what I want! thanks! wihtout download stranges or third things!
FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Thanks for the video!
Clean precise to point
Very good video
I like it much. Thanks. Can I do this in a separate work space and keep my original? Thanks.
I have just implemented exactly this on my XPS-15 laptop with the latest Mint/Cinnamon and it looks sensational. Thank You!
It looks like new users of Mint have been using your video recently to customize their own desktops. I just saw this linked in the forums today. That is a beautiful wallpaper. Do you happen to still have the link to that?
unfortunately after you maximize one of your apps, the transparencies will gone, i hope there will be options/settings to left it transparent

Huh
nice vid. theres some way to only make transparent the bottom taskbar?
thanks. in very short video but heavy effectfull
You're welcome
Perfect! Just what I was looking for. Thank you!
Great content thank you!
good work
Can you also change it to look like mac os s little bit. I mean the panel from below to up and more things.
Love the transparent panel but it does not resume after the screen turns off idling after awhile
Thx it's really cool and easy for beginners like me : )
Great tutorial!!
Perfect set. Clean but complete
Awesome!
Den Deutschen höre ich doch raus, danke für das Tutorial!
