Cinnamon applets
There are several very useful applets available to improve the desktop experience. Below is a list of several and some comments when necessary.
SSH Launcher
A small applet sitting in the system tray that provides quick access to ssh configuration stored in ~/.ssh/config in a way similar to PuTTY's quick-launcher.
Original version (has since been updated to v1.1):
https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/93
Fixed version 1.0:
https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/223
In the 'fixed version', the edit config option has an error and needs to be changed after installation.
vi ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/sshlauncher@sotiwin/launch_editor.sh
remove the chmod commands before and after the gedit command.
