More than ever, GNOME and Plasma are getting way ahead of other desktop environments
MATE & LXQt already have partial Wayland support. Ubuntu MATE team is using Mir to run MATE on Wayland. Upstream LXQt wants to use KWin but a developer already runs LWQt on Mutter. Expect them on Wayland soon. Cinnamon is going to rebase muffin on a newer version of Mutter, which may bring Wayland support with it. With the move to CSDs, Xfce seems to also start work on Wayland support not too far away in the future. While Xorg will continue to thrive, the way to Wayland isn’t that convoluted anymore.

Best way to Extract Battlemaps from PDFs
XViewer, which is the standard image/pdf/media viewer for most Linux distributions, allows you to right click on an image in a pdf and save to jpg/png file. I'm not sure if there is a windows/mac equivalent to this.

I don't think they can that directly. But it was the basis which is why there's commits like this https://github.com/linuxmint/xviewer/commit/61a2da998bf447c0e9aea9d5d0c1a7472715b1df for example where they are just switching things to Cinnamon but largely reusing the same code base. I don't know when the last time they rebased Cinnamon and Xapps to the latest GNOME stuff was.
