More than six months have passed since the release of Cinnamon 4.8, and now it’s time for a new major release of this modern and lightweight desktop environment developed by the makers of and used for the popular Linux Mint distribution, Cinnamon 5.0.

Cinnamon 5.0 comes with many improvements to make Linux Mint’s default desktop environment more stable and reliable, including a memory limit mechanism so that it won’t eat up all the RAM on your personal computer.
