Wilmo

Is he even very tech savvy? Like IIRC he tried to install a Linux Desktop once. And on installing steam he went ahead with the terminal prompts that were warning him whatever weird command he did was going to nuke his desktop environment.

On Gnome with the dash to panel extension, arc menu (mint layout), desktop icons, and tray icons aka kstatus notifier icons is an incredibly compatible and in many cases better Cinnamon like experience and you have Wayland that works.

I screen share on Slack with Wayland at work every day
