I have been reading this Q&A:
How do I install the Cinnamon Desktop?
It looks like something I might be interested in. However, I have some concerns about support - that is software updates and how they impact using this desktop.
I'm trying to understand how this is to be supported.
Will the community or Canonical provide support this or at least provide updates for it through the official repositories - especially since 12.04 is a LTS release?
My concerns are what could happen when I use Update Manager to get the latest software and possible impacts. Hopefully someone can guide me through this.
