been better motorized through the use of Mozilla&#8217;s new Mozjs78 JavaScript engine as the Cinnamon JavaScript interpreter (CJS).\u00a0The start of Cinnamon when booting should be much faster.\u00a0The GNOME Virtual File System (GVFS) makes room for\u00a0<a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/GIO_(software)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GNOME GIO<\/a>\u00a0when accessing external files\u00a0.\u00a0Fractional scaling has been further improved, and icons of applications based on Qt or Electron are better adapted in the system section.\u00a0The\u00a0<em>XAppStatusIcon<\/em>\u00a0applet\u00a0helps the icons of other applications such as Mintupdate, Mintreport, Redshift and Rhythmbox to have a more uniform appearance in the system tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to wait for Mint 20.1 to try out Cinnamon 4.8, you can currently do so with Arch Linux and probably in a few days also with
