Cinnamon crashes systematically at startups. However, I could not figure out why.
But I finally found the culprit !
This is the JetBrains toolbox.
https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox/
This application automatically starts when I open a session... and Cinnamon crashes.
If I kill the application and restart it manually... Cinnamon crashes.
Today, I clicked on an "update" button on the application (to update WebStorm)... and Cinnamon crashed.
Thus, the culprit is the JetBrains toolbox. There is no doubt about that.
However, I wonder : how could an application make the desktop crash ?
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks,
Denis
