The Cinnamon Desktop is an environment based on GTK+ 3. The project originally started as a fork of the GNOME Shell, i.e. a mere graphical shell. Cinnamon was initially developed by (and for) the Linux distribution Linux Mint.

Cinnamon is a Desktop environment which combines a traditional desktop layout with modern graphical effects.
Now with Cinnamon 3.x it has become a Complete Desktop Environment and not merely a frontend for GNOME like GNOME Shell and Unity.
