Mint experiments with Wayland support in Cinnamon |
|
The Linux Mint project published its monthly newsletter which introduced some new features and channels for beta testers to try. The new features include easy access to beta packages (in a repository called Romeo) and marking channels in the Hypnotix video streaming application as favourites. The developers are also testing Wayland support for Cinnamon. "The work started on Wayland. As mentioned earlier this year, this was identified as one of the major challenges our project had to tackle in the mid to long term. Priority had been given to ISO tools and Secure Boot over new features for 21.3 already, we felt it was time to invest some resources into Wayland as well. We don't expect it to replace Xorg as default any time soon, not in 21.3, not in 22.x, but we want to be ready all the same. Cinnamon 6.0, planned for Mint 21.3 this year, will feature experimental Wayland support. You'll be able to select between Cinnamon (the default session, running on Xorg) and Cinnamon on Wayland from the login screen." Progress and known issues with the Wayland session will be tracked on the Cinnamon Wayland Trello page. |
