Hmmm...but what is the difference? if you could tell, I would add that.

EDIT: Just found out the difference here:

One of the answers stated:

Look at the output of:

apt show cinnamon cinnamon-desktop-environment cinnamon-core

Basically you can say that cinnamon is a part of cinnamon-core which itself is a part of cinnamon-desktop-environment.

  • cinnamon is the most basic and minimal Cinnamon installation you can get.
  • cinnamon-core is a minimal Cinnamon desktop, but it also includes few more packages than cinnamon, like the e.g. file manager nemo.
  • cinnamon-desktop-environment is a full desktop environment suite which also includes standard applications like a browser, mail client, document viewer, editor, picture viewer, multimedia viewer, etc...

I will add cinnamon-core in the tutorial.
