I'm not sure the title is clear so I'll try to specify. I currently have Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome installed on it. I've done at least 16 hours of random tweaking and reading, mostly to give myself a better user experience.

I've installed and modified Sublime Text 2, installed a bunch of drivers, software, transferred files, etc. I want to know if I install Cinnamon and use it instead of Gnome, will it change my settings? For example, I have a "Show Desktop" keybinding set up (Super + D) that took me a while to figure out how to get working, will Cinnamon make me re-modify it?

From looking at the installation instructions here:

It looks like Cinnamon doesn't ship in Ubuntu, and since it's in a PPA:

So really the answer is "maybe?". You should certainly back up your settings before attempting that though.

  • How do I "back up my settings" in Linux? – Steve Sep 27 '12 at 19:51
  • That's another question. Please ask it separately after checking that it hasn't been asked and answered satisfactorily. –  Sep 28 '12 at 02:17
