Are there chances for Cinnamon in Slackware?
I am curious. I found Cinnamon fast, reliable, good-looking, comfortable. In daylight hours I work on Cinnamon - late night on Xfce - Marsala GTK3 theme looks much better on Xfce - and it is excellent theme to work in dark.

i also prefer to have this DE stays outside of Slackware official repository

One cannot expect Pat to include every desktop or every application in the official Slackware. I would expect Slackware users to be knowledgeable enough to add stuff themselves. Praise to those who keep 3rd party applications and SBo scripts up to date - e.g. willysr who keeps the msb and csb projects up and running. As a MATE user I'm indebted. |
I do like Cinnamon, but I can't see Pat wanting to take on another DE when we already have two that check most of the same boxes (assuming Plasma 5 gets added at some point).

It is not difficult to add Cinnamon to your Slackware. I have done so a few times and Cinnamon is interesting.
There were some good things about it and I used it for awhile. In particular it supported my Wacom pad at a time when the support in other slackware environments required a great deal of effort. Wacom support in Plasma5 later improved and I did not take well to Nemo so I gradually faded out of Cinnamon. |
