From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any news on Cinnamon DE? (lemmy.today)

With all the news surrounding KDE Plasma 6, I'm wondering if there has been any interesting news about the Cinnamon DE. This is my preferred DE and what I'm currently using on Arch. Last we heard, Cinnamon moved to Version 6 on Linux Mint, and that version comes with an experimental Wayland setup. Since then, I haven't seen or heard much about what's going to happen next. Even the Linux Mint Blog doesn't seem to indicate much.

Has anybody else heard anything lately about Cinnamon?

By "news", I mean do we have any major updates, like improvements to the experimental Wayland support. From the link you shared, that minor update doesn't really mean much to me.

What Wayland improvements did you have in mind? Is it one of these?
