I meant more as a philosophy.
Now I use Cinnamon Mint and I find it great and minimal.
What I'm afraid of is that moving to be based on Ubuntu 18.04 will add significant overhead.
I like the minimalistic approach better.

Mint has been based on Ubuntu since the beginning except the LMDE editions. I have been using Bionic Mate 64 for the last month because I wanted a change. Its very nice and the Ubuntu 18.04 base should be nice for Mint. I also installed the Cinnamon daily builds ppa on a Bionic server base, Cinnamon 3.7 looks good, and my install isnt quite as polished as a real Mint release.Royi wrote: ⤴Sat Apr 21, 2018 6:57 amI meant more as a philosophy.

Roughly identical, I suspect. Note that any "system load increase" has usually more to do with applications becoming heavier, and that's something that Mint has no say in. If Firefox gets heavier, that's entirely up to Mozilla, not to Mint....
I'm talking on system processes (Of a clean install).
The developers do a spectacular job and this is one example of that. I absolutely love Cinnamon and to know it's getting even better really gives me something to look forward to in Mint 19. Many, many thanks!
What tearing issue? o.O

Not much choice in U's. Makes me think about it somehow...Pjotr wrote: ⤴Thu May 03, 2018 4:28 amMy aunt was called Ulla....absque fenestris wrote: ⤴Thu May 03, 2018 2:11 am I'm really scared about the U's! Just the names: Ulla! Umma! pretty sure Ursula...
She's from the German side of my family; I think it's a normal abbreviation for "Ursula" in Germany.
