Linux Mint has introduced a new screensaver and lock screen integrated directly into the Cinnamon desktop, marking the final major step toward complete Wayland compatibility. This redesign resolves prior X11/Wayland incompatibilities, eliminates visual glitches like desktop flashes, and adds features for better usability and privacy.
Linux Mint has launched Zena, described as its best version to date. This release positions the distribution as a seamless replacement for Windows. The update aims to provide a smooth transition for users switching operating systems.
