Installing Cinnamon on openEuler
Cinnamon is the most commonly used desktop environment running in Unix-like operating systems. It is also a desktop environment with complete functions, simple operations, user-friendly interfaces, and integrated use and development capabilities. It is also a formal desktop planned by GNU.
For users, Cinnamon is a suite that integrates the desktop environment and applications. For developers, Cinnamon is an application development framework, consisting of a large number of function libraries. Applications written in Cinnamon can run properly even if users do not run the Cinnamon desktop environment.
Cinnamon contains basic software such as the file manager, application store, and text editor, and advanced applications and tools such as system sampling analysis, system logs, software engineering IDE, web browser, simple virtual machine monitor, and developer document browser.
You are advised to create an administrator during the installation.
