Cinnamon is pretty much the only major desktop environment that isn’t transitioning.
Mate and XFCE are both planning it and it seems relatively close for them, and since they’re going to be using wlroots, once it’s supported it won’t be long for x11 to be gone.
Also, I think gnome/kde make up the VAST majority of linux desktop usage.
Eventually, probably, but Cinnamon, XFCE, and MATE still don’t support it, so I wouldn’t call “soon.”
Given that Mint is one of the most recommended beginner distros, this presents a problem.
