gnome-shell, gnome 3, unity, cinnamon, mate confusion
- by Bryan
I am thinking about adding something besides unity into my ubuntu 12.04.
My questions are this:
-If I add cinnamon, mate, gnome2/3, could I still call it it Ubuntu, or would it be Mint?
-Why not just add Mint instead of cinnamon, or mate, into Ubuntu?
-Or is Mint just those at the core, and not the other way around?
-I had terrible battery drain using Mint. Something was wrong with the kernel with my laptop type. If I add cinnamon, would I get that battery drain again?
-And lastly, would I be able to get that awesome HUD if I add the other things?
I realize these questions are a bit confusing, or at least they are for me.
