Let's try to be as objective as possible in the ideology of Mint vs. Ubuntu:
- You can install cinnamon in 13.10.
- The answerer found that it's actually a
gsettings
syntax error. - The asker agreed and accepted the answer.
- He even awarded a bounty.
Despite being off-topic, everything else that the asker and answerer show there is good citizenship and how the site should work. Now we just need someone kindly enough to take the question to the Stack Exchange instance where it should belong to and kindly remind the users to ask non-Ubuntu questions not at AskUbuntu.
In short: Handle things gracefully.
Let me reiterate: We have all this fuzz and ideology war over a simple synthaxsyntax error.
One shouldn't be that obsessed with keeping the site clean, that he actually thinks of deleting useful - and not by any means harmful - content and questions, where users also show good citizenship (but someone accidentally said the word "Jehovah"), just because that's the only thing he can do for now.
