Mint plans changes to Mutter and Bluetooth |
 |
The Linux Mint team are looking ahead toward Linux Mint 21 which will likely become available in the middle of 2022. There are a few significant changes planned for the new version, including an updated version of the Mutter window manager and a change in Bluetooth support. "In preparation for Linux Mint 21 we are updating Cinnamon's Javascript interpreter and rebasing its window manager on a more modern version of Mutter. This is a huge task and it requires many code changes in Cinnamon itself and causes a significant number of regressions. We needed a full development cycle for this so the timing is perfect. Linux Mint 21 is likely to switch from Blueberry (which uses the gnome-bluetooth backend) to Blueman (which uses bluez). Feedback showed that it worked better with Bluetooth audio headsets and connected to a wider ranger of devices. On the development side of things, the latest version of gnome-bluetooth introduced changes which broke compatibility with Blueberry and its main developer isn't keen on seeing his work used outside of GNOME." Additional information is provided in the distribution's newsletter. |
