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?

    Initially, it is quite bland, but I have already downloaded the Linux Mint themes and backgrounds, plus some other theme options that were recommended to me. So, in terms of themes, I’m okay with that.

    As for the Wayland option, that is available as a selection in the Login Screen. I don’t use it very often, because it is quite buggy.

      Ok cool. There are also other themes you can get for cinnamon if you want to dramatically change the look.

      For example I have an OS X inspired theme with a dock because I prefer they layout to the windows style default layout.

      The Wayland session is currently in beta so it’s definitely going to be buggy.
