Plus Linux Mint 22 to be based on Ubuntu 'Noble Numbat'

TLDR: XFCE and Cinnamon devs are begging beginning to work on Wayland support.

    Good. X11 has not been properly maintained and shouldn’t be the default for any distro. (Xorg, whatever.)

      At least the Mint devs are being realistic on the time span needed for Wayland to have a chance at working for everyone, unlike Fedora, KDE, and Gnome that are jumping the gun.

              While maybe sometimes buggy, at least things run. I’m all for modernization, but if there are compatibility problems with recent software, I’m not OK with it being declared “the better, mature standard thing everybody should now use”.
