Popular Cinnamon PPA for Ubuntu 14.04 To Close
Installing the popular ‘Cinnamon’ desktop environment on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is about to get a little harder.

The maintainer of the most widely used PPA for the GNOME 3 fork has confirmed his intention to retire it. Development builds not aimed at regular users will continue to be provided through a separate package archive.

Cinnamon is the default desktop of the increasingly popular Ubuntu-based Linux Mint distribution. While previous versions of Ubuntu allow the shell to be installed through the Ubuntu repositories directly, 14.04 LTS users have needed to add a third-party PPA.

But now this PPA is being shut down.
