Re: Cinnamon 4.8
Hi Fabio,
thanks for your comments!
> - add/switch language from gui (and install its packages if not already
Ahh, that old one. I have looked into the mintlocale package quite a few
times, but it seems a major task to adjust it to Debian standards and
ways, it is too different. I haven't seen anything else in that way.

We could pull in language-selector* from Ubuntu?
And no, I don't know anything else. I would suggest using a DM that
allows selecting the language.

I don't like all these software-center things (plasma-discover,
gnome-software,...), mostly because snap/flatpak and the like don't come
on my computer ;-)
BUT if you think it is a worthwhile addition and useful for cinnamon
users, by all means, please add it!

I have no option here. My backups are more or less unison syncs across a
few computer ;-)

Fine with me, that is very useful.

Agreed, I would also prefer remmina.

Again, no strong opinion. Evince is good for just viewing a PDF, that it
does very well, and I still use it for this. For anything else, like
inspection of information, or print, or whatever, the menues of evince
are so unusual that I always waste soo much time searching the right
place.
Maybe
evince | atril
is a good option? Evince is still developed and has probably better
support and less bugs. Atril has the more common user interface IMHO.
As said above, feel free to make all the changes necessary!
All the best
Norbert
