So, let's take a look at it. + +### Cinnamon 6.0: What to Expect? 🤔 + +![Cinnamon 6.0 on Wayland][4] + +Right away, the major highlight of Cinnamon 6.0 has been the **implementation of Wayland**. This was [in the works][5] for quite some time, and it is here as an **experimental support**. + +Starting with Linux Mint 21.3, you can switch to Wayland session from the login screen. + +Alongside the usual niceties one might expect from Wayland, there seems to be **experimental support for fractional scaling** , which was made evident from the 'Add scale-monitor-framebuffer' commit for this release. + +Though, the developers have clarified that **Wayland is not replacing X11 on Cinnamon — yet** ; as their implementation of Wayland has its limitations, and even lacks a few features. + +But, this is a starting point, and the devs expect **Wayland support to be completely ready before 2026** , that would be around the time Linux Mint 23.x is expected to go out. + +📋 + +You can switch between the default Xorg session, or the Wayland session from the login screen. + +Moving on, there are other changes with this release too! + +Such as the **fix to the power applet battery status** , **improvements for X11** , **support for AVIF images** , **new option for the notification screen** , **color picker support for the screenshot tool** and more. + +You may go through the [changelog][6] to learn more about the technical improvements coming with Cinnamon 6.0. We shall link the release announcement here as soon as it is live. + +It is quite interesting to see that many Linux distributions; take for instance elementary OS, are working on transitioning to Wayland by default. + +But, the developers of Cinnamon are taking a rather calculated approach to ensure that their Wayland implementation is completely ready before they switch to it by default on Cinnamon. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][7] + +### 📥 Get Cinnamon 6.0 + +Well, if you were looking to run it with Linux Mint, you will have to wait until later this year, when **Linux Mint 21.3 “Virginia”** releases, featuring Cinnamon 6. + +For those of you who can't wait, you may download the source tarball from the official [GitHub repo][8], and set it up manually. + +[Cinnamon 6.0 (Source Code)][8] + +_💬 Are you excited about what Cinnamon 6 has to offer?_ + +* * * + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/cinnamon-6-0-release/ + +作者：[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/why-cinnamon/ +[2]: https://linuxmint.com/ +[3]: https://itsfoss.com/customize-cinnamon-desktop/ +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/Cinnamon_6.0_Wayland.png +[5]: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4591 +[6]: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/commit/448a1fc6753079916b8bf036aeb40b049652b72e +[7]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w256h256/2022/08/android-chrome-192x192.png +[8]: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/releases/tag/6.0.0
