- How much time do you think it will take the developers to implement Wayland?
- Will something like plank be adapted to cinnamon Wayland?
- Can I make panels in cinnamon floating like KDE or gnome? I didn’t find any info on that.
-
Years.
-
IDK
-
No.
Cinnamon development is glacial. It works, but the project simply does not have the resources to properly keep up or even triage important fixes.
It’s one of the reasons I didn’t stick with mint, and tend not recommend it if someone can use something else. When I stopped using it, the setting that was supposed to allow games in fullscreen to display without compositing was borked, costing you frames and latency. It had been that way for years.

Mint has been a very good conservative distro so I hope they continue in this fashion: transition when the rest of the ecosystem is already there so that there will be no pain for non technical users
- Depends on reliance on X11.
- Maybe.
- Probably not.
If you got enough experience to ask this, it might me a good idea to move to a KDE-friendly distro. AFAIK, Linux Mint does not like KDE.
