I haven’t seen much recently about the state of Wayland support for Cinnamon since the July blog post, in which they said they are “studying the pros and cons of Wayland.”
I don’t understand why people aren’t just getting started. Yeah, it’s a large undertaking, but one that I think is necessary for Cinnamon.
Is there anything new since then, and if not, does anyone know why no one is just getting started?
What are the user facing benefits? I’m not questioning you, I’m just curious about what I’m missing. The only thing I’ve heard of were TouchPad gestures.
better securiry and future upgrades are important aspects. X11 is more or less dead but Wayland has more potential.
