Cinnamon 6.8 Adds Optional Wayland Support
The next version of Linux Mint's Cinnamon desktop will support Wayland as an optional display server, alongside the default X11. This move addresses long-standing user demand for Wayland's improved security and performance. The update is expected to ship with Linux Mint 22.
Meridian48 take
Optional Wayland support is a cautious step forward, but widespread adoption will depend on app compatibility and user willingness to switch.
