I haven’t seen much recently about the state of Wayland support for Cinnamon since the July blog post, in which they said they are “studying the pros and cons of Wayland.”

I don’t understand why people aren’t just getting started. Yeah, it’s a large undertaking, but one that I think is necessary for Cinnamon.

Is there anything new since then, and if not, does anyone know why no one is just getting started?

    I remember back in early 2000s remote execution through SSH was a breeze even in slow connections when you had X11 on both ends, since it would send draw primitives across instead of bitmaps.

    I assume that’s still possible with Wayland, having a server and a client on different ends of a tunnel connection?
