Talk about a need-to-know feature. Sometimes, Cinnamon gets confused. Logging in and logging out is super disruptive to productivity, so being able to restart Cinnamon without blowing away everything you have open is a nice option to have—if you’re aware of it. It’s buried in the “Troubleshoot” menu, which I never thought to look into before. Silly me. If you really want to get geeky, the “Looking Glass” console lets you inspect all kinds of X11 weirdness.

I’m pretty new to Linux Mint Cinnamon, too.
