As he usually does on a monthly basis, Clem Lefebvre has released the monthly Linux Mint report. A report that is giving a lot of juice to those interested in the project because they have not only known a new Mint Box, a small pc with Linux Mint but also He has talked about the news that Cinnamon 3.2 will bring to Linux Mint 18.1.
This version of Linux Mint will come out a few weeks after Ubuntu 16.10, that is to say that at the end of November we will not only have Linux Mint 18.1 but we will also have a new version of Cinnamon.
The news of Cinnamon 3.2 will be very interesting and although there are not many, the truth is that they will set a before and after for the project. A) Yes, Cinnamon 3.2 will allow the use of vertical panels, panels similar to the Ubuntu Unity panel.
Cinnamon 3.2 will finally take on the possibility of using vertical panels as in Unity
But this will not be the only thing but also you can use the accelerometer of devices such as tablets or computers that have it, in such a way that by rotating the screen, the desktop will also rotate adapting to the new position.
In addition, Cinnamon 3.2 will feature new bug fixes that will improve desktop performance. At the moment they are the only news that we know of, but there is no doubt that they are very interesting news for everyone.
Well, we must not forget that the increase in users in Cinnamon was due not only to Gnome Shell but also to the adoption of Unity, a desktop with vertical panels as Cinnamon 3.2 now has. So it seems that This change can be decisive for users not only of Linux Mint but also of the desktop, Well, Cinnamon is not only available for Linux Mint or Ubuntu, fortunately it is also for other distributions.
I personally don't dislike vertical panels though I always prefer a good dock to vertical or horizontal panels. This is possibly the end of the new vertical panels What do you think?
From the outset it seems an unfortunate decision if one takes into account that that is why there was a great dropout from Ubuntu, we will have to see how they are implemented, if they are optional nothing happens and they will simply enrich the desktop, I prefer a simple and elegant dock, Docky .
It was about time, it was one of the things that Cinnamon lacked. I guess the archers will have it before: D
It will be better to wait to see the creature before giving your opinion, I have never liked the Gnome or Unity bar and, above all, not having an ordered menu like Cinnamon. It is tremendously annoying when you do not remember the name of an application to search through a menu in no order of ulility. I find the Unity bar more comfortable horizontally because vertically, nothing you have, soon everything piles up, horizontally it has more space.
the vertical panel next to the global menu are the details that tie me to unity T_T
One tweet is enough to block systemd on Linux systems

And best of all, those of us who use Bumblebee with any distro can launch applications from the launcher without having to go through the console. It would almost almost resemble the GeForce Experience (in the case of using NVIDIA) of Windows, always having the Intel graphics activated until we run from the panel.
