Linux Mint developers recently outlined their work on developing a new Wayland-compatible screensaver for use with their Cinnamon desktop environment. Linux Mint developers announced today that their new screensaver solution is ready for use.

Linux Mint developers announced in their monthly development recap that their new Wayland-compatible screensaver is ready. This new screensaver works on Wayland, provides a better experience between the desktop and screensaver, and is built into Cinnamon itself. There is a native look and smooth animation with this new solution and should nicely work with both X.Org and Wayland environments.

Does anybody use a screensaver in 2026?

Does anyone happen to know the state of Wayland on Linux Mint?

Nothing other than "they're working on it" and rumors that it'll be done by the end of the year. That's always been their approach. They never make significant changes unlessnit will have next to no hiccups.

Thanks! I wonder who will reach the finish line first between Cinnamon and Xfce.
