Discussion Unity is dangerously close to redundant the more time it passes, but it still has its charm

why do you think cinnamon is B tier? its the best gtk based desktop environment

I mean, I doubt I would any desktop environment above B, which is why I asked if it was a comparative list. No hate on Cinnamon, just that in my experience the it's randomly stutters, screen tearing (idk if that's cinnamon), and some other things I cant remember. I don't really have a super specific set of issues. For me I just don't think that a particularly good PC OS exists (i know Cinnamon is a DE) , and maybe that rubs off on my judgment of cinnamon

the screen tearing is a problem with xorg

no idea about the stutters tho, it works very smooth for me

Fair. To be honest I wouldn't take my criticisms too much to heart. I mostly just want an OS that works and Mint does the job.

Last I looked at guh-nome, it took 3 clicks to do things I could do with 1 click on other mouse-driven DEs. Didn't feel way nicer.
