⇒ Wayland No Longer Considered Experimental For Linux Mint's Next Cinnamon Release
The Linux Mint distribution has published their June development summary that most notably includes work on Cinnamon's Wayland support where it's now ready to graduate.
I started out on XFree86, now on X11. I'm wondering if there is a reason I would want to try Wayland. Or do I even want to spend the time to investigate. Good to see this about my distro. They may switch over to Wayland before I'm gone. The other switch years ago worked out okay.
