 That doesn't mean everything is perfect under Wayland. I like to use Redshift or f.lux to tint-shift my screen at night as I find that much easier on my eyes. Neither application seems to work under Wayland thanks to changes in the security model of Wayland versus X. Fortunately it looks like Redshift-like features may be coming straight to GNOME itself. In the mean time if you want to get tint-shifting working in Fedora 25 with GNOME there's a COPR repo available that adds some new color profiles to GNOME and a dawn/dusk timer to switch between then. There's some good instructions <a href="http://www.thelinuxrain.com/articles/redshift-functionality-on-fedora-25-gnome-wayland-yes-its-possible">here</a>.
 
-Also be aware that if you used GNOME Tweak Tool to get desktop icons in GNOME, that won't work anymore (it was always an unofficial hack so it's not terribly surprising that it stopped working).

 Other than the tint-shift problem my transition to Wayland has been smooth and largely uneventful. Some people with other graphic card/driver combos have reported problems with video playback but I haven't run into that in my testing (mplayer works fine on my Lenovo and a Dell XPS 13 I happened to be testing when Fedora 25 came out).
 
 While the move to Wayland is definitely the big news in Fedora 25, it's not the only thing that's new by any means. There's a major GNOME update, a brand new kernel and the some changes in Fedora Next lineup.

 Fedora 25 WorkStation is hands down the best desktop distro I tested in 2016. With Wayland, GNOME 3.22 and the excellent DNF package manager I'm hard-pressed to think of anything missing. The only downside is that Fedora lacks an LTS release, but now that updating is less harrowing that's less of a concern. I still run Arch on my main machine, but for people I'd recommend Fedora. And note that if you just can't stand GNOME, there's a MATE-based Fedora spin that's worth checking out.

 The GTK+ 3 support also means third-party themes should be easier to build, though in the mean time it may break some of your old favorites so proceed with caution if you use a custom theme.

 Mint's Update Manager has been updated as well with a new column that shows the origin of a package. Out of the box that means primarily Mint's repos along with Ubuntu's for things that pull directly from upstream. Any third-party repos you add will show up as such here as well.

 It's worth noting that there are other desktops available for Linux Mint, including Xfce and KDE, but at the time of writing neither of them had been updated to Mint 18.1. Typically the Xfce version comes about a month after MATE and Cinnamon and then the KDE version after that.
 
 No matter which version you end up with Linux Mint 18.1 is an LTS release and will fully supported until 2021.
