Cinnamon is a fork of GNOME originally developed for Linux Mint and is a fork of GNOME 3.x attempting to provide a modern but traditional and highly functional user interface for Linux users.

Pros
Pro Cinnamon provides control of icon placement on multiple monitors
Cinnamon provides control of the placement of desktop icons on multiple monitor setups. This feature has been buggy, but in my testing of Linux Mint 19, this feature appeared to be stable. Thus, Cinnamon joins KDE and Windows in enabling this capability. For example, in a setup with 2 or 3 monitors, you can put the desktop icons on the right-hand monitor. With other DEs, the icons always move to the left-hand monitor.

Solid overall experience. Functional desktop that doesn't compromise on performance and easily runs on older machines. THE desktop environment to go with if you want something that just works out of the box. It's also a bit customizable, but not too much (at first glance) which makes it a great pick...

I love it. I've tried other desktops and keep coming back to cinnamon. Easy to navigate without extra clicks of the mouse.
