About Ubuntu Cinnamon
Ubuntu Cinnamon is one of the newer official Ubuntu flavors, created to answer a simple wish: the Cinnamon desktop, best known from Linux Mint, running on an unmodified Ubuntu base. Cinnamon supplies a traditional, discoverable layout, with a panel, applet system, and menu that Windows-accustomed users navigate without instruction, while the Ubuntu underpinnings bring the standard archive, APT and deb packaging, Snap availability, and the April and October release rhythm with long-term-support versions. The distinction from Mint matters: Mint alters Ubuntu's defaults in many places and omits Snap, while this flavor keeps Ubuntu conventions intact and simply swaps the desktop. That makes it attractive to people who prefer Ubuntu's ecosystem decisions but Mint's desktop feel. Its community is small and focused, tracking upstream Cinnamon releases as they land. Comparing it against Mint side by side is exactly the kind of test OpenFactory browser VMs make trivial.
All Ubuntu Cinnamon releases and desktopsWhat happens when you press Try now
The button opens the OpenFactory console in a new tab and boots a fresh Ubuntu Cinnamon virtual machine from OpenFactory's verified source media. The session renders directly in the browser, so there is nothing to download and nothing to install on your computer.
Each visit gets its own machine with a fresh overlay over an immutable base image. Files, settings, and desktop changes behave normally inside the session and are discarded when it ends, so every visitor starts from the same clean Ubuntu Cinnamon Current Cinnamon.
How Cinnamon behaves in a browser VM
Cinnamon, developed by the Linux Mint project, pairs a traditional menu-and-taskbar layout with modern GTK internals. It is a common first desktop for people arriving from Windows.
Questions about this target
Is this an official Ubuntu Cinnamon image?
Yes. Launches boot from OpenFactory's verified copy of official Ubuntu Cinnamon media with the Cinnamon desktop. The catalog records where each source came from and when it was verified, and visitor sessions never modify the stored image.
Do changes persist between sessions?
No. Every launch runs on a fresh overlay over an immutable base image, and the machine state is discarded when the session ends. No visitor sees another visitor's changes, and every session starts from the same clean Ubuntu Cinnamon Current Cinnamon.
Can I get a customized Ubuntu Cinnamon instead of the stock demo?
Yes. The OpenFactory builder turns this release into your own image: pick packages, services, users, and hardening, then build it, test it in a browser VM, and download the result for real hardware.
