Started off using Mint 12.

I work on some the development of Mint/Cinnamon, and mostly in python/javascript/java.

org.gnome.Eolie
"Looks nice, clean interface, too bad it doesn't seem to have great hardware acceleration "

gnome-weather
"Forcast doesn't load for my Canadian location, and the interface is laggy on my hidpi screen, just as I remember it being a few years ago"

pia-manager
"Simple and works, but maybe a bit to simple, it doesn't save your login information, which makes it annoying to change the location "

"Great tool, fairly easy to use, and a good thing to keep your system safe"

"It's funny this says "Chrome guzzling up all your RAM" because this is an Electron App which is basically another instance of chrome running using 100s of MB of RAM. This is actually worse than just using chrome as is doesn't have Hardware acceleration, meaning its laggy as heck on a 4K screen. Only redeeming quality is that it has neat color customization."

org.gnome.Weather
"Looks nice, but under Cinnamon it has a very low FPS when doing animation and interacting with things"

org.gnome.Maps
