Wayland update? (lemmy.world)

I haven't seen much recently about the state of Wayland support for Cinnamon since the July blog post, in which they said they are “studying the pros and cons of Wayland.”

I don't understand why people aren't just getting started. Yeah, it's a large undertaking, but one that I think is necessary for Cinnamon.

Is there anything new since then, and if not, does anyone know why no one is just getting started?

better securiry and future upgrades are important aspects. X11 is more or less dead but Wayland has more potential.

I remember back in early 2000s remote execution through SSH was a breeze even in slow connections when you had X11 on both ends, since it would send draw primitives across instead of bitmaps.

I assume that's still possible with Wayland, having a server and a client on different ends of a tunnel connection?
