I installed the beta, will it upgrade to the finished version through updates or will I have to install over?
My first go at Cinnamon, after trying XFCE, must say I'm pleasantly surprised. Everything works better on my laptop than it did in 17.x, including my touchpad which never worked correctly before.
Only issue, which is small and might have a solution, is that I can't seem to get the windows to open where they were before, and default is center for some reason?

Thanks!
I've checked update manager daily and kept my system updated. I only had one update, which was a kernel update, that I've postponed but installed it now. Looks like things are in order! Except those windows, though it worked last week, after a few updates it started opening center, and is now set to automatic, which seem to open the windows a bit randomly, and my browser which is normally located on the right side of my screen now opens a little off the left side of the screen.
Anyway, it is a minor annoyance rather than a problem.

Just click your update manager and you'll be on final release. Might even fix the window issue.
