I got to play drums yesterday and no one told me to stop.
I miss my old drum set (even though it was crap) but I just did not have room for it.
I've even thought about trying to get an electronic drum kit but even that would be hard to squeeze into the basement somewhere.

#Linux #linuxmint #linuxdistro #wayland #linuxdesktop
Mint 21.3 is still based on Ubuntu 22.04 and its super old kernel, version 5.15. You do get the Mesa drivers version 23, but you don't get the latest Nvidia drivers either, you're still on 535.
So, you can select that new Wayland session from the login screen. I tested this on a spare laptop that uses an Intel Xe integrated GPU, and also has a dedicated Nvidia GPU.
At first glance, everything seems to work ok, but it's an experimental session, and it's missing a few things.
OBS, for example, has no source for the display: Cinnamon doesn't seem to support the screen sharing protocol through pipewire, so OBS has nothing to display here. You won't be sharing your screen to anyone just yet.
Another issue I encountered is the lack of any sudo graphical prompt: anytime I needed to install a package or update the system, I had to use the command line.
I also got some inconsistencies in the place where menus appeared, there were also a few things that I couldn't find, like changing the keyboard layout in the Wayland session, the "layouts" tab doesn't appear in the settings where it should be. The gestures of Cinnamon also don't work here for now, you can enable them, but they won't do anything.
The hot corners did work though, with their nice animations and features, but there were some weird graphical things happening. Some settings pages also seemed to have some sort of infinite scroll and didn't stop at their own content, which was a bit weird.
After that, I tried the Wayland session on Nvidia, and, all the problems I had experienced previously were still there, obviously, because they all are missing features in that experimental session, so no reason to expect them to work better here. But I also didn't get any other issue that I didn't see in the wayland session with the Mesa drivers.
So just as a little experiment, I also decided to run a game in the Wayland session, namely Warhammer 40K Mechanicus:
- Wayland + Intel: 25-32 FPS
- Wayland + Nvidia: 60-65 FPS
- X11 + Intel: 32-37 FPS
- X11 + Nvidia: 65-75 FPS
Ok, so now, let's talk about the other changes in Linux Mint 21.3. In terms of apps updates, Hypnotix, the TV watching app now lets you set channels as favorites. You can also create your own custom TV channels if you want.
Cinnamon will also now let you download Actions. These are add-ons for the file manager, that will appear in the right click context menu, letting you do, well, custom actions.
Warpinator, the file sharing app now lets you connect to a device manually by just entering its IP address of scanning a QR code. The Sticky Notes app can now be managed by DBus, meaning you can manage notes using scripts, and the bulk rename tool of Mint now supports drag and drop and thumbnails.
As per the desktop itself, you can now use 75% fractional scaling on X11 if you want that, you can also set keybinds to change the window opacity again, you can disable stylus buttons if you use that sort of hardware, and gestures got a bit better with the ability to set a gesture to zoom in on the desktop.

If you got used to the super smooth 1:1 gestures for GNOME or Plasma on Wayland, or even elementary OS on X11, you'll be disappointed here. Mint still uses X11, and their gestures act like keyboard shortcuts. You perform the gesture on the touchpad, and once your fingers have moved enough, the animation happens all at once.
Gestures are disabled by default, you'll be able to enable them in the new Settings panel. They are very configurable though, contrary to GNOME or KDE.
Mint 21.2 also changes a few things in terms of how the distro looks, or can look. First, instead of the endless list of selectable themes, in their dark or light variant, and all their color variants, you now get Styles.
The Style defines the theme you're using, for example MintY, Adwaita, or the older Mint X. For each style, you can pick mixed mode, where apps can be light or dark at the same time, dark mode, where every app that supports the dark mode preference will use it, and light mode.
And on top of that, you have a choice of accent colors, if the theme supports it, for example, there are no accent colors for Adwaita, or the High COntrast theme.
Folder icons are now longer the same color as what WIndows uses, they'll now use your accent color instead, which is much better in my opinion.
On the desktop side of things, the login screen received a lot of improvements, with support for multiple keyboard layouts that you can switch between, and support for tap to click as well.
The onscreen keyboard is usable there, and you can also configure the layout for it, and you can now more easily navigate this login screen using the keyboard and the arrow keys.
Once you're logged in, you can now resize the main menu, by dragging its corner or its edge, and you can now disable notifications for connected devices that have a low battery level.
As per the apps, the file manager, Nemo, now generates thumbnails using multi threading, which means it should be way faster.
The software manager got a small UI refresh, with the search field inline in a headerbar, with the hamburger menu moving there as well. The app pages also got a small redesign, with buttons in the header to install, and to show the installation source.
Pix, the image viewer, got a lot of changes, mostly due to its rebase on a new version of GTHumb.
Finally, Warpinator, the PC to PC file transfer program, was reviewed by the openSUSE team, and some security issues were discovered and fixed.
All Linux Mint editions are still based on Ubuntu 22.04, and they're all LTS, supported until 2027. The next base change will be when Ubuntu 24.04 releases, which means that in the meantime, you get the Linux kernel 5.15, and older Mesa and Nvidia drivers.
Now, for the XFCE variant, you get the same improvements to the login screen, the apps and the software manager, plus the new colored folder icons, tooltips and notifications, and the symbolic icon changes. You're not getting the Styles manager and selector though, and you're not getting the touchpad gestures either.
Still, you do get XFCE 4.18, which is a solid update over 4.16 that Mint used in the previous release.
As per MATE, it gets the same stuff as XFCE, so no gestures or style manager, and it's still on MATE 1.26, same as the previous Linux Mint release.

In 2022, Chris Jones, a nuclear engineer, ran for Governor of Arkansas

He is an Arkansas native. He wrote an entire platform to improve Arkansas. He visited every single county in Arkansas. His opponent, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, barely campaigned.
Jones lost by double digits. She absolutely crushed him.

The Spectator has long been a dishonest, racist, far-right rag. It has openly normalised hate. And the political and media establishment have barely batted an eyelid.
But as the desperate elite defence of the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza continues, it seems the word police are out in force again.

A heads up...
I had to print a return label from Amazon; it's usually right in th email they send after beginning a return. This time it was a redirect, back to Amazon.
I printed it using a laptop, and a PC, just because there were a few glitches.
BUT, as soon as I did, both keyboard and mouse would not function on both my laptop nad PC. It took a few hours of sheer panic (were we hacked?) and a deep dive investigation, but we finally discovered that the settings on the mice were reversed.
@Bleukitty No...but the whole experience was just so odd...Amazon usually just sends the return label in an email, and you download it. And this was on both devices...immediately after printing.
Weird, huh?
Could someone just go ahead and delete all Chyna made anime from every streaming site in the known universe?

Being anti apartheid, anti genocide, anti occupation does NOT make one pro Hamas.
Nor does being against vengeance, cruelty, racism, hate.
Turning all Palestinians into Hamas is to justify genocide. Just as they turn all Jews into Zionists so they can justify ongoing arms deals, defence funding, occupation, and ignoring ICJโฆand claim critique of Israelโs genocidal policy is antiSemiticโฆ
โฆ They conflate the Zionists with not just all Israeli Jews, but Jews the world over, making us all targets bc of Israeli govโt & Zionist actions. Trying to force us all be in accord and of one opinion and mind with what is clearly immoral and force us all to share in their doing evil. This is antisemitic. Jews have a saying 2Jews, 3 opinions. We are not a monolith.
We even argue and have it out with God! Our whole schtick is questioning!
What is happening now, is anti-Jewish and antisemitic.
โฆDo they really think a people who are known to question G-d will be so easily silenced when they are standing in truth & the highest laws?
Israel actually means โOne who struggles with Gโd.โ The origin of the name Israel is a Biblical verse, โYour name is Israel, because you struggled with Gโd and with man, and prevailed.โ
All the silencing dissent, conflation, propaganda & lies, is bc they only have maliceโฆ
Honestly, if you look at it from the perspective of a Palestinian person, militancy and partisanship is inevitable.
If you are born in the occupied West Bank or Gaza under the boot of the Israeli occupying army, denied any ability to contribute to the political leadership of your country, and subservient to the economy of your occupier, it's perfectly reasonable to take up violence.
And we're going to see the same happen in America if Trump's agenda hurts enough people. When the Trump government starts deporting people's kids, ruining the economy, and slashing at workplace benefits and protections, people will become violent.
