   KDE is moving away from x11 and Wayland on Mint isn't ready for prime   
   time. I updated to 22.3 Sunday and tried the Cinnamon/Wayland   
   'experimental' session yesterday. It worked for a while but went   
   unresponsive while I was trying to install LibreWolf.   
      
   I rebooted into standard Cinnamon and finished the job. I ultimately used   
   the AppImage.   
      
   Both the Fedora and Arch boxes are running the Wayland KWin with no   
   problem so I don't know what Mint's major malfunction is.
