You can try to start Cinnamon on TTY to see what goes wrong.

So we'll finally see something from Deus Ex Human Revolution before 2027.
I guess I'll finally try Lemmy's block feature.
New Empire Earth looks great too.
Unless there is a raccoon involved. Then it's both.
I see. I checked its documents now and it seems it can be usable on Hyprland only, depending on hyprctl.
I think those are changing according to which sandbox environment you currently use. Probably one for root account (for programs you use with sudo), one for flatpaks and one for normal user.
Can we use it on outside of Hyprland? I installed it but doesn't show up on nwg-look. No idea if I can use it at all.
Apparently those cursors can be used on both Xorg and Wayland with their respective specs, and they are even located at ~/.icons or /usr/share/icons. Maybe this is some kind of a transition stage. However hyprcursor isn't located there.
So even if there was a native Wayland cursor, that wouldn't fix it too unless everything is native Wayland?
Some compositors allow Xwayland to request moving the real pointer instead of doing emulation, but River apparently doesn’t.
Then this shouldn't happen with native Wayland apps I assume. I guess some problems could occur since it's a transition layer. Though I don't know the working mechanism of Xwayland. I'm kinda confused. So this is a pointer issue but not input issue?
I haven't tried it but I can try. Recently I learned about Hyprcursor in a post which was saying native Wayland cursor. However I couldn't really find anything about native Wayland cursors so I asked here.
Go to a TTY by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F3. Replace F3 with F4, F5, F6 etc if you are already on that TTY. Once you are in TTY, login with your user and its password. Then run
cinnamon --replace. If it runs without any problems, the problem might be related to your display manager. If it doesn't start, you should see the errors.
