Bug#1000700: Debian 11 - Cinnamon 4.8.6-2 dont work correctly



Hello and thank you for your message,


- The desktop display bug is the most annoying, if you could fix it that would be great... I'm using a stable Debian, I'm afraid that if I upgrade Cinnamon with SID it created an unstable system for me.


- Having a small tool that allows you to choose between old style and new style would be so much more practical, in addition this tool exists in Linux Mint ...

   New users of Cinnamon under Debian or other OS (non Mint) do not even know that there is the option to choose between old and new style ;-(

   I know that in Debian very few people use Cinnamon yet, but this problem is also present in other Linux distributions that offer Cinnamon.

   This missing option therefore certainly affects more people than would appear in the first degree of analysis ...


- The choice of the GPU for laptop between integrated or discrete, at the launch of the programs, such as Gnome or Mate proposes it is absent from Debian 11 + Cinnamon 4.8.6-2.  


I understand you, it is difficult to be in the oven and in the mill when you are working alone... From reading you, you seem to me to be an independent maintainer, not a developer of Cinnamon ?? 


Maybe you could ask the LMDE team at Cinnamon & Linux Mint to give you some help ? When I wrote to the Cinnamon development team about the 2nd issue (old style / new style), as a Debian user they tell us to contact you ;-(


We ended up wondering if it is not better to use Mate, XFCE or another desktop so as not to have any more problems on Debian...


Thank you for everything and have a good end of the weekend.
