[deleted by author} would request admin deletion of this thread. I installed Kitty terminal and it gave itself default permissions I did not give it, including Cinnamon applets. I removed Kitty.

Just a note: This is normal or has been normal in Cinnamon for a while now. At least, for me. Been using it for a few years and whenever I add a new file manager, text editor, media player, etc., it always makes itself default.
It’s never happened with terminals for me because I only use one terminal and don’t care about the new features of the newer ones since most of them disable context menus.
xfce4-terminal til the wheels fall off!

whose trash applet opens in a terminal? arrgghh.
So…no kitty then Nemo comes back for the trash. All is right in the world.
back to gnome-terminal forever dude!
thanks for your 2 cents.
speaking of native text editor, XED stopped launching from menu and dock so I flushed that turd and installed gedit and have been happy. I love Cinnamon but still feels a little glitchy the last month

The one terminal I do not like at all. No transparency option.
gnome-terminal-transparency works great (AUR).
If you’re on Arch (or Arch-based distro). If you’re on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc - you’re out of luck. The transparency option should be a part of the terminal itself, IMHO.
Yeah, I forgot about that. In going through my VMs, I only found these systems that still enabled transparency besides Arch (all Cinnamon-based systems, no GNOME):
Linux Mint (21 and 22)
Ubuntu (25.04 Dev branch)
Gentoo (default compiler options)

when I used F38-39 i could swore I had a transparent gnome-terminal, not from the proper repo I think from that COPR(?) repo or OBS.
The point is, virtually all terminals have that option by default. Alacrity, Kitty, Konsole, etc.
Gnome Terminal not having that option baked in is just dumb. You shouldn’t have to search repos or find a plugin somewhere.
agree with all that ^^. is was a sad day when they took it away in solus. I switched to alacritty. The flip side is with terminals like that there is no menu and you have to make your own config file. (I’m easy: just transpareny and open size is all I put in).

Why not?
I posted this 6 days ago. As OP, I believe all the Endeavour Cinnamon kinks are worked out. It really still is an elegant and enjoyable DE, my favorite in this stable.
Hat’s off to all you WM/TM’ers…I love the clean minimalism of your desktops but the DIY aspect of creating/maintaining 6-7 config files was taxing.
As for you Plasma lovers? I don’t know why I’ve resisted this many years. Maybe its all the kwallet/keyring stuff that spooks me out in the beginning. It seems to want too much trust from me. There is too much under the hood for me of things I will never look at or use the length of my ownership. Don’t get me wrong, it’s the most gorgeous and the most flexible/customizable DE I’ve ever seen. Maybe I need a shrink? (rhetorical 
). Someday it will get another chance.
