As reported
the other day, the upcoming Linux Mint 18 "Sarah" operating system will
be available with the Cinnamon 3.0 and MATE 1.14 desktop environments
for the official editions, bringing users a new look and feel based on
the Arc GTK theme and Moka icon set.
While you already know everything there is to know about the new features implemented in the MATE 1.14 desktop
environment announced last week, it's time for Cinnamon users to learn
about the upcoming features that are about to land in Cinnamon 3.0,
whose release date we don't know yet.
And it looks like Linux Mint project leader Clement
Lefebvre has started his usual brief blog announcements to tell us about
the incoming Cinnamon 3.0 features, the first one being the ability to
rename battery-powered devices in the Power settings of the Cinnamon
control center, as requested by users a few months ago.
"And then I noticed my three PS4 controllers
were all called 'Wireless Keyboard' (Sony doesn’t put any model/vendor
information in them)," says Clement Lefebvre in today's announcement. "And then I noticed my Macbook Pro laptop battery had a really weird name I really didn’t like."
Two-finger scrolling, new Sound module, and much more
In the coming weeks, we will get more updates on the
upcoming Cinnamon 3.0 desktop environment, which we already know will
offer the ability to scroll with two fingers for modern touchpads, as
well as a brand new sound configuration module.
The current stable version of Cinnamon is 2.8.8, and there's no sign yet about a preview build for Cinnamon 3.0, except for the latest Git master
build. In the coming weeks, more will be revealed about the upcoming
Linux Mint 18 "Sarah" operating system and the Cinnamon 3.0 desktop
environment, so stay tuned.
