From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In January I read this post on the Linux Mint forums saying: "Wayland isn't expected to replace Xorg as default any time soon, not in 21.3, not in 22.x, but we want to be ready all the same."
A blog post in January stated that Linux Mint 22's "Cinnamon edition will include a new Nemo Actions Organizer". But that's all I know sadly.
Which is too bad. Personally, I'm using plasma on LMDE
LMDE is Debian with Cinnamon (including the xapps). If you use LMDE with KDE you are basically using plain debian (except for some weirdly replaced packages like "adduser" and libpolkit).
I know. It works pretty good. What more up to date software I needy I can get with appimage s, flatpaks and extra apt repos
They like it that way, who cares?
Incredibly wrong. Wow.
