Cinnamon is mostly functional. The network control panel reports “The system network services are not compatible with this version.” As long as you’re comfortable configuring (wireless) networks on the command line, it’s fine.

Attempting to build Cinnamon from the upstream source succeeds, but can’t install. One of the generated pacakges requires network-manager, which depends on libpam-systemd, which depends on systemd. I’ve already filed a bug about the dependency in network-manager. Fixing that would be a big step towards LMD1E.
