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.
Cinnamon uses Muffin, which is a fork of GNOME’s Mutter: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin
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
Trust me bro, Windows is gonna die any day now
– Linux forum people, for as long as I can remember
