stsmint8 says hello

[stsmint8]

Hello; i am linux user from Lithuania.
I use linux from 2007.
Now i use and like most these three Debian based linux systems:
Mint, Ubuntu and Debian.
Most favorite desktop for me is "MATE" with theme "Mint-X" for all components of interface.
I try to use only free and open source software.
Because i do not play games anymore, i am happy with free and opensource drivers for graphics card which i have.
What i am concerned about, is future of "Synaptic" package manager, because it does not work on "Wayland" graphical server, only with "X" server; i experienced this on current Debian stable system.
Registered here for a purpose to have an account, if support will be needed for me and to share knowledge for others and opinion about various topics.

Hello stsmint8

Welcome to Linux Mint and the Linux Mint forum

Welcome aboard, stsmint8! Synaptic not working on Wayland is a "feature", not a bug:

https://github.com/mvo5/synaptic/issues/15

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=818366

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/20 ... 01022.html

Apparently it does work with xwayland (which I know nothing about).
