How is Wayland on Cinnamon?
Cinnamon is a desktop not a distro
To answer your question it is a work in progress. Cinnamon is GTK3 based and gtk3 supports Wayland so porting it isn't to hard. If you need Wayland you can just use Gnome or KDE. The base distro can be anything like Fedora.
OpenSuse is overly complicated for what it is. I want something that follows that status quo.
I understand the Cinnamon is a DE. I was asking how is Wayland support on Cinnamon these days. X11 is unmaintained and insecure so I avoid Linux Mint (Cinnamon is the only desktop environment that has Wayland)
Yep Linux is the easiest way to get games :) don't even need to worry about viruses.
Already done! My wife's former Win10 laptop, which was bogging down ludicrously, has been humming along on Ubuntu for months. I use it to run my in-person D&D sessions. Touchpad is a little iffy, probably crudded up inside, so I just added a mouse. Could try to clean it out but I like a mouse better anyway.
