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?

In January I read this post on the Linux Mint forums saying: "Wayland isn't expected to replace Xorg as default any time soon, not in 21.3, not in 22.x, but we want to be ready all the same."

A blog post in January stated that Linux Mint 22's "Cinnamon edition will include a new Nemo Actions Organizer". But that's all I know sadly.

Which is too bad. Personally, I'm using plasma on LMDE

LMDE is Debian with Cinnamon (including the xapps). If you use LMDE with KDE you are basically using plain debian (except for some weirdly replaced packages like "adduser" and libpolkit).

I know. It works pretty good. What more up to date software I needy I can get with appimage s, flatpaks and extra apt repos

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.
