Where to get help about Cinnamon in non-deb systems?

Post by hd_scania »

I was used to report an issue here for Cinnamon issues but regardless a deb system, but this issue was moved to the ''Chats'' forums, i need to clarify that, where is your official Cinnamon support for non-deb systems, Github? community.linuxmint.com? cinnamon.linuxmint.com?

How about the support forum for the distro you ARE using?

My non-deb systems with Cinnamon are Tumbleweed and F26. I have also asked in https://linuxquestions.org needing my attention.

''Issues'' to get help in your Github frontpage? I have been little experienced to Git itself (which I am also a developer needing Git to publish my sources) but UNexperienced to get help in Github.

Really the OpenSUSE/Fedora forums where other users are running the same system is the logical place to ask.

This thread should also be moved to the Linux chat forum. It's not a Mint support question.

No - this is a Linux Mint support forum.

Agreed. Sounds like the smart place for good information on this.

So why aren't you using the Tumbleweed and Fedora forums?
