How do I install the Cinnamon desktop environment

I don’t fully agree with it for WMs specifically, but…

@dalto

Install only a single DE/WM - You only need one, trust me. Most of us go through a phase of having multiple DEs/WMs. It can be fun at first to try out a bunch and switch between them. However, most of us also learn three things in that process. Having more than one causes lots of little inconsistencies since they tend to step on each other in small ways, it actually isn’t a great way to test DEs because you are introducing breakage that otherwise wouldn’t be there and, lastly, you never really know if the issues you see are caused by a bug or the fact that you have/had multiple DEs installed. Use a VM or a second machine to test new DEs. Also, you don’t need a “backup DE”.
