Please don't ban me, I just want to practice my business English :D
I thought your GNOME-ification needs some more inspiration, so here's some ideas:
Remove localisation
Localisation dramatically increases the already numerous setting combinations. By removing localisation, the user experience can be streamlined, because most people use Linux Mint in English, and for the other ones, Linux Mint will become an opportunity to learn. Also, English is invading most other languages anyways, it's only a matter of time before localisation becomes useless. It would allow for a greater focus on UX without us worrying about a button text overflowing.
Remove the clock
People care about time way too much, and the constant visibility of a clock contributes to this by promoting a culture of excessive punctuality and precision. Additionally, time is relative: in space, time doesn't flow in the same way, for example. At Cinnamon, we can create a calmer environment and a space for mindfulness for productivity by making people focus on what really matters, not the time. The clock is also redundant, because the Earth has a built-in clock, sunlight.
Remove window switching
Studies have shown multi-tasking significantly hurts productivity. Making the system dialogues modal is just a small step towards acheiving ultimate focus on a single task at a time. It would also simplify testing, as the window sizes are now fixed and there's no more defocusing. With no window switching, people will always stay focused and productive when working at their computer.
Remove file names
The new generation of digital natives doesn't learn about file management anymore, and in 10 years files will be an outdated metaphor. Instead, they use search features on their devices to find the content they've saved without worrying about the location where it was saved.
