Linux community for Lemmy.zip. ~~also this needs mods pretty bad~~ apparently not as bad as I thought (either that or this community isnt alive enough for troublemakers yet)

I think this is some sort of edition error. "late 2023" + "almost three years" = "early 2026", when LMDE 6 reaches end of life.
A few highlights:
- I don't see the point on fucking with the menu, but at least the changes sound positive.
- The changes to the system reports tool are simply good
- LMDE release cycle seems a bit too fast IMO. But perhaps I'm biased, I used the first LMDE, it was a rolling release so there was no such "end of life cycle"
Side note, I love the work they're pouring into Cinnamon. I tried Plasma for a while; it is not a bad DE, but I still like Cinnamon the best.
How's Wayland coming along? Is it? I'm not being facetious honestly have no idea. I love mint but we need some Wayland up in there.
There's an experimental Wayland session for Cinnamon, but I can't recall the last time I tried it.
I tried it about a year ago and it didn't work well at all.
Kept crashing out.
