Linux Mint 16 RC was released a few days ago, so a final release should be right around the corner. As someone who just rediscovered Linux Mint a few days ago (long story short; Ever since Linux Mint 11 I’ve hated it), I thought it might be a good idea to give Linux Mint 16’s release candidate a look.

In this article, I’ll be having a look at the Cinnamon edition of Linux Mint 16. There is also an image available which is using MATE as the default desktop environment. If you like yourself some nostalgia, I’d say you should give it a look. My first impression of it was “Wow! Flashback time! This is Linux Mint 10 with a new wallpaper!”, but by all means have a look at it for yourself.
