Install ubuntu-desktop on Linux Mint?

[xavierbaez]

Is it possible to have Linux Mint with Cinnamon 4.0 and also have the best of Ubuntu on the same partition?

I would love to have Linux Mint benefit of Cinnamon 4.0, however I would also like to have Ubuntu?

the specific package that I am looking for is:
ubuntu-desktop 1.417.1 amd64 The Ubuntu desktop system

Has anybody done this?

Don't. It's messy, and at the very least your system will become unpredictable:

The reason I use Linux Mint is because of Ubuntu's LTS + Cinnamon/Nemo on top because I dislike GNOME3. It's 100% possible to transform Mint into stock Ubuntu but it's self defeating unless you really want it like that. It's still a good learning experience because it shows how Linux works under the hood.

are you looking for the old ubuntu unity desktop or the new gnome desktop

You can only use one desktop environment at a time. So if you manage to install the current desktop that comes with Ubuntu on your Linux Mint, you will NOT be getting the benefits of Cinnamon.

Are you though? As Moem said, you can only use one desktop at a time and your post does not sound like you actually want to replace your Cinnamon desktop. So what Ubuntu-specific thing are you exactly looking for?
