- How much time do you think it will take the developers to implement Wayland?
- Will something like plank be adapted to cinnamon Wayland?
- Can I make panels in cinnamon floating like KDE or gnome? I didn’t find any info on that.

- Depends on reliance on X11.
- Maybe.
- Probably not.
If you got enough experience to ask this, it might me a good idea to move to a KDE-friendly distro. AFAIK, Linux Mint does not like KDE.
Cinnamon is a super DE for simple people. I don’t mean this as an insult, some people just never even think to customize their computer and are scared by settings and options. Just use KDE if it has features you like, you clearly sound like you’re up for the change.
- They have an experimental Wayland session already. It mostly works except for some pretty important stuff…I also haven’t seen development on it for a long while.
- I think this is almost a 100% no.
- I tried to implement that myself. Making them shorter than the screen is easy. Making them appear above the edge of the screen is hard, but not impossible - the code is in JavaScript and the logic is kind of disjoint across multiple files and stuff depends on panels being at the edge of the screen - I didn’t do it in the end because it was too much effort for something I didn’t want that much.
I expect Wayland cinnamon will be good enough to use by next years Ubuntu LTS. And the default in the next LTS after that.
Maybe.
