I have added the Linux Mint Debian repos, and installed gnome3 + Cinnamon from there on Virtualbox.

Cinnamon depends on Gnome3. However, I would not recommend Cinnamon (or Unity or pure Gnome3) for gaming. Comparaison of DE's gaming performance on Youtube:

Looks like Mate/ XFCE/ LXDE is a better choice.

I think that guys has bad hardware Cinnamon has ran like crap but on Manjaro it runs best if i can implement those tweaks to our gamers distro we may have a winner.

Ok is this the correct command to enter? apt-get cinnamon && gnome-shell && gdm3 && gnome?

apt-get install cinnamon

should be enough and maybe

apt-get install gdm

How to configure it, I have no idea.

Remove .xinitrc from /home/user but make sure gdm3 or lightdm is running.

Here it is on my box. (antiX-Sid)
