The Nemo file manager was improved.<\/p>\n
Its search functionality was enhanced. A new filter was added to find files using regular expressions matching their filenames.<\/p>\n Cinnamon in Wayland<\/strong><\/p>\n We’re working on adding support for keyboard layouts and input methods to Cinnamon in Wayland.<\/p>\n Will this be included in the next release? Hopefully.<\/p>\n It’s functional but it’s not fully ready yet.\u00a0Although it’s great news for Wayland compatibility, it can impact toolkit compatibility and input methods for Asian languages. We need a little bit more time to finalize it and properly test it.<\/p>\n OEM Support in LMDE<\/strong><\/p>\n LMDE 7, which will be based on the next version of Debian Stable, will come with full support for OEM installations.<\/p>\n Thanks to OEM installs, Linux Mint can be pre-installed on computers which are sold throughout the World. It’s a very important feature and it’s one of the very few remaining things which wasn’t supported by LMDE.<\/p>\n OEM stands for “Original Equipment Manufacturers”. It’s used to refer not only to manufacturers but to any company big or small which sells computers. This feature is also used by individuals who either donate or sell their computers.<\/p>\n When you prepare a computer to be sold, you don’t know its future user. You can’t select the username or the password. Big companies might not even know the user’s language, timezone or keyboard layout. So this feature allows the system to be pre-installed on the computer, without selecting user details.<\/p>\n These details are later asked to the user via a first-run wizard when the computer is turned on.<\/p>\n CJS<\/strong><\/p>\n We’re changing how we handle version numbers for the JavaScript engine that powers the Cinnamon desktop.<\/p>\n Previously, our JavaScript interpreter (CJS) shared the same version number as the Cinnamon desktop environment and was only updated when Cinnamon itself was updated.<\/p>\n Moving forward, CJS will be versioned according to the Mozilla JavaScript engine it uses, and we’ll update it independently from Cinnamon. This means:<\/p>\n This change will especially benefit Linux distributions like Debian and Ubuntu, making it easier for them to ship Cinnamon without having to maintain multiple versions of the Mozilla JavaScript engine.<\/p>\n Sponsorships:<\/strong><\/p>\n Linux Mint is proudly sponsored by:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.linuxmint.com\/upload\/2025\/04\/thumb_nemo.png\")
