    I like the careful approach. Yes, it’s going to take longer. But when it finally arrives, it’ll work.

    It was always just a matter of time. A LOT of time in the case of anything wayland related apparently.

    Anyone know where the sources for this are? I can’t find many references to Wayland in the main Cinnamon repo, at least using GitHub’s search.

    I wanted to check if they use wlroots for this or are writing yet another compositor from scratch.

      I don’t think there are many “compositors from scratch” are there? GNOME and KDE both have their own, Cinnamon uses a GNOME fork, and almost everything else I can think of is wlroots based. The only other one I can think of which isn’t is Mir, which has been around almost as long as Wayland has.

    This is important when windows inevitably dies (subscription-based Windows 12?!) and linux mint gets flooded. Better have the “new” thing from the start

      Windows won’t die what are you talking about? Windows 12 subscriptions are a) just a rumor and b) not for the entire os, just certain features like AI and stuff

        I heard there will be a ”windows 365". If windows goes full online like office 365 then the underlining OS could be everything Linux.
