What does this mean in a practical sense. I have and use Linux Mint. What does Wayland mean for improving Mint?

    Not a whole lot on its face. But eventually, everything graphical and modern will be Wayland-first and it’ll be the expected native experience under the hood. There’s also the slight security bump of app isolation, less screen tearing without hacks, and better multi monitor support.

    Shit title.

    Mint will be Wayland ready around Christmas 2026 when the next version will be released.

    I have a habit of just YOLOing it with experimental things, think I'm already running Wayland and haven't had issues. Looking forward to this!

    Fond memories of using the Cinnamon desktop before moving to GNOME, and eventually settling on Niri + DMS. It's great to see that Cinnamon is still actively evolving.

    I should probably take a look at that extension I wrote, see how it's holding up, and maybe bring it up to date with the latest release.
