The team is working on adding Night Light support in Cinnamon.<\/p>\n
Night Light consists in reducing the amount of blue light emitted by the screen. It makes the color of your monitor warmer as you get closer to bed time to help reduce eyestrain and improve sleep quality.<\/p>\n
In the past Linux Mint shipped with Redshift to provide this functionality. Redshift wasn’t integrated in the settings though, it only worked in Xorg and it was auto-configured by something called geoclue which is no longer functional.<\/p>\n
The team is hoping to have this feature fully integrated into the Cinnamon desktop and working out of the box, both in Wayland and Xorg.<\/p>\n
Clutter Dialogs<\/strong><\/p>\n Work continues on migrating key Cinnamon dialogs to Clutter.<\/p>\n Here is the dialog which pops up when a keyring needs to be unlocked:<\/p>\n And here is the one to confirm display changes:<\/p>\n Donations via Stripe<\/strong><\/p>\n Stripe was added as an alternative to PayPal on the donors<\/a> page.<\/p>\n This was done to make it easier for people who couldn’t or didn’t want to donate via PayPal. More countries and more bank cards are supported by Stripe and no account registration is necessary.<\/p>\n Framework Laptops We started working with Framework<\/a>. We’re hoping this will lead towards a great partnership.<\/p>\n Framework promotes a concept which is quite admirable. They make high-performance laptops which are easy to upgrade, repair and customize.<\/p>\n They want to achieve full compatibility with Linux Mint and the Cinnamon desktop. That’s also very important to us because it means we can recommend this brand within our community without having to worry about compatibility issues.<\/p>\n Their laptops are packed with components we don’t have or technologies which we hadn’t really focused on yet. This will boost new areas of development for us.<\/p>\n The Laptop 13 they sent me just arrived today so I won’t be able to review it until the next blog post. Spoiler alert: I like it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n When it comes to hardware I love it when a product feels special and\/or of high quality. I’ve had many different computers in the past. The ones I enjoyed the most weren’t the most modern or the most powerful, they were the ones I grew attached to, either because they were very well built or because I loved something unique about them. I still work mostly on a Mintbox 3 and an old Macbook Pro Retina. I’ll be comparing this Laptop 13 to these two next month.<\/p>\n Hellotux Garments Some of our branded clothes will soon be discontinued.<\/p>\n Hellotux<\/a> can’t source the green Mint shirts anymore.<\/p>\n Some sizes are missing, some are reduced. We’ll also probably remove the old Mint logos eventually.<\/p>\n If you like the green shirts or the old logos don’t wait until they’re gone.<\/p>\n Sponsorships:<\/strong><\/p>\n Linux Mint is proudly sponsored by:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.linuxmint.com\/upload\/2024\/11\/keyring.png\")
