Linux Mint 21.3 to Feature Experimental Wayland Support

Linux Mint 21.3, the next major release of the popular Ubuntu-based Linux distro, will include experimental Wayland support in the Cinnamon desktop. Wayland is a modern display server protocol developed to ‘solve’ many of the shortcomings present in Xorg, a decades old tech at this point. Wayland is more efficient and more secure than X and is now widely used by many leading Linux distributions, including Ubuntu and Fedora Workstation. Adding Wayland support to the Cinnamon desktop isn’t an easy task, so Mint says it does not expect Wayland will replace Xorg as its default display manager “any time soon”
