I downloaded the ISO file from the official website using Transmission BitTorrent. Once I had the file, I did an SHA256 sum check on it from the command line.

This ISO file was 4.8 GB in size which is actually 200 MB (4%) smaller than the last release, Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.10, which was 5.0 GB. This is the second release in a row to shave 200 MB off the ISO file, so Ubuntu Cinnamon is shrinking over time. I have some information on where that extra space was saved, too. | This ISO file was 4.8 GB in size which is actually 200 MB (4%) smaller than the last release, Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.10, which was 5.0 GB.

This release uses the Cinnamon 6.4.8 desktop, an update from the last few releases, which employed 6.0.4. This new desktop version includes some overall user interface modernization. Also, the nightlight configuration is now in the display settings, the main menu can be controlled using the number pad arrow keys, the power applet supports more devices and their labels, and the user's profile picture can now be displayed with the user applet. | This release uses the Cinnamon 6.4.8 desktop, an update from the last few releases, which employed 6.0.4.

One thing that is not new in this release is that the live session version of Ubuntu Cinnamon 25.04 will not mount any drives, including USB drives, just like in the last two releases, Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.10 and 24.04 LTS. This prevents using it as a rescue disk, and also makes doing screenshots more complicated. The screenshots for this review had to be uploaded to a cloud service as a .zip file and downloaded to my laptop, rather than simply putting them on a USB stick. Most of the other Ubuntu flavors (other than Xubuntu 25.04) do not lock drives out of live sessions, as it serves no useful purpose. | One thing that is not new in this release is that the live session version of Ubuntu Cinnamon 25.04 will not mount any drives, including USB drives, just like in the last two releases, Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.10 and 24.04 LTS.

Ubuntu Cinnamon 25.04 introduces some changes to the amount of user customization compared to the last release. There are now three different mouse pointer themes (down by one); 32 window color themes (down by three); 26 icon themes (down by seven) and 32 desktop themes which set the panel colors (up by four). These theme revisions probably contribute to reducing the ISO download size. | Ubuntu Cinnamon 25.04 introduces some changes to the amount of user customization compared to the last release.

As in past versions of the Cinnamon desktop, in 6.4.8 the bottom panel still can be adjusted in size over a large width range and the icons on the panel automatically size to fit. The menu continues to be adjustable in size by mouse drag from its default size to a much larger or much smaller size. | As in past versions of the Cinnamon desktop, in 6.4.8 the bottom panel still can be adjusted in size over a large width range and the icons on the panel automatically size to fit.
