I switched to Cinnamon as my desktop environment on my work laptop last week, as Gnome 3 was eating all my RAM and CPU resources. I've liked it quite a bit so I decided to switch to Cinnamon on my personal laptop too.
@kravietz I hadn't even heard of it until you mentioned it! π I might give it a go over the weekend, but in the past I just couldn't get used to tiling window managers.
