Linux Mint - Mate or Cinnamon?

Question

linux

I decided to install Linux Mint, so I had a choice: Mate or Cinnamon. People who have experience with this OS, tell me which is better to choose? What are the pros and cons of each? Which is more convenient?

Answer 1

Something prevents to put both environments and compare?
Everyone has their own criteria for convenience. It is always necessary to make a choice personally, and not relying on someone else's tastes.

Answer 2

Mate is an analogue of XFCE (lightweight, nimble), Cinnamon is already a larger shell, more beauties, buns, and so on. I myself actively use mate, it performs all tasks with a bang and is quite well customizable.

Answer 3

I tried Cinnamon on Ubuntu, fps in games is 10-15 less than in Unity (4k monitor)

Answer 4

I use Linux for work, on a laptop (Acer Aspire 7250), Cinnamon is installed. It works quite fast, responsive to settings, however, there are a couple of nuances that I still can’t figure out. But that's another question...
And depending on the purposes for which the system will be used + what hardware configuration.

Answer 5

Of these two Cinnamon, the only tangible minus on the netbook menu opens with a delay, on a powerful computer this is not observed.

Answer 6

Cinnamon ONLY)))
