EDIT 2: This is the second bug I described.

b) issues specific to the cinnamon desktop or nemo file manager that appear to be present upsteam in linux mint also (cinnamon seems less stable in general to me with it needing to be restarted more, there is a known issue with drag-and-drop, etc)

Depending on what features you use, your hardware, and which DE you prefer, you may have relatively few issues. I recommend reading around here and fedora forums but for example, I've had some minor issues with Fedora 38 Cinnamon Spin but mostly just little nitpick stuff (nothing that really impacts my workflow). example: there's a drag-and-drop issue currently open with Nemo file manager that happens on some display setups in very specific scenarios and has some workarounds (technically this was also present in F37 too) and yesterday I had an issue where my mouse cursor went past the right edge of the screen until I rebooted. But all of my apps, VMs, etc work fine. The only change I had to make in my post-setup scripts for F38 was to remove ogmtools, rdfind, and chromium-freeworld from my list of apps to install (apparently for chromium freeworld, things have been resolved upstream so it's no longer even needed to get the same effect so it is being discontinued in favor of the regular chromium package)

I tried a few searches through open cinnamon issues but nothing really stood out yet OTOH, I know some of the recent changes to Nemo/Cinnamon had caused issues which I've run into myself in F37 (such as the new themes, some Nemo drag-and-drop issues, and another issue with Nemo's input focus when clicking the toolbar button to a new folder while you are renaming a file) so still plausible this could be a Cinnamon-specific bug.

You should open an issue here, I do not see anything like this reported yet: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/issues

I don't know. Here - the natural place to look - it does not say.

In 5.4.10 it looks like (?) UI scaling has moved into Muffin, which isn't being used with Xmonad (although does give Cinnamon some nice per-screen scaling!), so I can

This is the right answer - it's mentioned in the PR for the mutter rebase: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/pull/601

The issue tracker would be a better place to make feature requests: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/issues

Try the most recent rpm off his site 2.0.17.

Ha, so there is indeed something missing in the settings? I've also looked through all the settings and searched for a way to configure the touchpad gestures at all. Couldn't find anything. Would be very happy to learn about how to do this on Wayland. (On X I've just used the nice program Touchégg and could configure it the way I liked, even on a per app basis.)

I'm running Fedora (well Nobara specifically) with Wayland. However, you can get nice touch gestures on most any laptop with X11 using a tool like Touchégg if they are not already working. I've used tools like this for almost a decade to get nice multitouch gestures under X11 with great success.

I use touchégg for touch screen and touch pad gestures on my 2 in 1. Works really smooth. To configure it easily I further suggest touché

elementary OS uses touchegg to handle touchpad gestures, and you can configure it anyw ay you pleaase: https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg. The options available by default in elementary OS gestures are kinda rudimentary, so I also recommend https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.joseexposito.touche to more easily define them the exact way you like, and to also maybe even set-up custom gestures for different applications.

If I'm not mistaken, you can only enable hibernation if you've set up a swap partition on your disk. As for the touchpad gestures, you might want to take a look at these - https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.joseexposito.touche
