+Environment. Although I have used and enjoyed using <a href="https://linuxmint.com/">Linux Mint</a> one goal I had when I started replacing Windows
+throughout my house was to be the same distribution on differnt machines. So I settled on installing <a href="https://www.debian.org/">Debian</a>
+everywhere and customizing it to each systems individual needs.</p>
+<p>I wanted to run <a href="https://projects.linuxmint.com/cinnamon/">Cinnamon</a> on my Thinkpad Laptop and <a href="https://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> can install
+it out of the box. The only problem is the defaykt theme leaves a lot to be deisred. Luckily the theme from <a href="https://linuxmint.com/">Linux Mint</a>
+can installed using a few commands from the terminal.  </p>
