Also includes Linux learning deals and hardware reviews. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Is the Wayland session in Linux Mint 23 stable now, or still experimental? It is stable. Linux Mint 23, arriving around Christmas, drops the experimental label from Cinnamon's Wayland session and ships it as a fully supported option alongside the existing X11 session, rather than replacing X11 outright. _Track desktop Linux release changes like the Mint Wayland shift on daily.dev before you plan an upgrade._ ### Is there a known security vulnerability in Cursor on Windows involving git.exe? Yes, an unpatched zero-day exists where placing a file named git.exe at the root of any repository causes Cursor to execute it automatically when the project is opened on Windows. The issue was reported to Cursor months ago and remained unpatched at time of reporting. _Developers relying on Cursor for coding follow flaws like this on daily.dev before opening untrusted repos._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [FOSS Weekly \#26.09: Linux Mint Shortcuts, OpenClaw Alternatives, Ladybird's Rust Move, Super Productivity and More](https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-09-linux-mint-shortcuts-openclaw-alternatives-ladybird-s-rust-move-super-product-rhcpdlvkm) · It's Foss · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [FOSS Weekly \#26.30: Vocalinux, My Computer, Alacritty Terminal, TDF Against Microsoft and More Linux Stuff](https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-30-vocalinux-my-computer-alacritty-terminal-tdf-against-microsoft-and-more-linux-4gxrmgcmh) · It's Foss · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux Mint is finally ready for Wayland, and it's handling the switch the way GNOME never did](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-mint-is-finally-ready-for-wayland-and-it-s-handling-the-switch-the-way-gnome-never-did-m7y22ggbz) · XDA Developers · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux Mint 23 to offer full Wayland support \(but X11 is staying\)](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-mint-23-to-offer-full-wayland-support-but-x11-is-staying--7wmq8fk2x) · omg\! ubuntu\! · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-29-mint-goes-wayland-openbook-reader-terminal-shortcut-tips-linux-handheld-compu-1g5uocu9l) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"FOSS Weekly #26.29: Mint Goes Wayland, OpenBook Reader, Terminal Shortcut Tips, Linux Handheld Computers and More","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-29-mint-goes-wayland-openbook-reader-terminal-shortcut-tips-linux-handheld-compu-1g5uocu9l","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-29-mint-goes-wayland-openbook-reader-terminal-shortcut-tips-linux-handheld-compu-1g5uocu9l"},"datePublished":"2026-07-16T13:44:25.670Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T19:03:14.214Z","description":"A curated FOSS newsletter covering Linux Mint's Wayland session graduating from experimental status in Mint 23, a benchmark showing Wayland's input latency is...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/e54fa59c3459d526c86c447685a26257?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/e54fa59c3459d526c86c447685a26257?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"It's Foss","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"It's Foss","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/582e3faed71842bfb9d3840a787d6700","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/itsfoss"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-29-mint-goes-wayland-openbook-reader-terminal-shortcut-tips-linux-handheld-compu-1g5uocu9l","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"open-source,linux","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"It's Foss","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/itsfoss"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"FOSS Weekly #26.29: Mint Goes Wayland, OpenBook Reader, Terminal Shortcut Tips, Linux Handheld Computers and More"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-29-mint-goes-wayland-openbook-reader-terminal-shortcut-tips-linux-handheld-compu-1g5uocu9l#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Is the Wayland session in Linux Mint 23 stable now, or still experimental?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"It is stable.
