1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    That's what happens when you use an experimental feature that is actively being developed and receiving improvements over time. Transitioning an X11 stack to Wayland is not as simple as flipping on a build flag.

    Keyboard support has been implemented and will arrive in 22.3:

    Wayland support

    Under the hood, the Cinnamon keyboard handling relied on libgnomekbd and only worked in Xorg.

    This meant that Cinnamon under Wayland could only be used with an English (US) layout.

    This new support is fully compatible with Wayland for both traditional layouts and IBus input methods.

    So it's a Cinnamon issue, not Wayland's.

    It's more of an "it's still experimental" kind of issue. They're releasing the Wayland session into the wild before it's ready to boost the pace of bug-squashing. X11 remains default, but they allow the people who want to contribute (instead of whine on public forums about missing features) to test the Wayland session on a much greater variety of hardware and OS configurations than could ever be achieved in-house, report bugs, break things, and submit changes.
