For your reading pleasure, we’ve gathered some of the highlights of the Cinnamon 3.4 desktop environment, such as a cinnamon-stap-monitor utility, better panel intellihide when on vertical panels, as well as the ability to manage various of the systemd services that are present on the operating system. A “Run now” button will be displayed when selecting a row in Cinnamon Settings’ module for managing your startup applications, the applets that do not offer support for vertical panels will no longer be displayed, and there’s now support for lightdm-settings in Cinnamon Settings to configure the LightDM login manager.
