The Display applet has vanished from the latest Cinnamon update (the one that was pushed a few days ago). I've had to revert to a pre-update snapshot to get it back. Every time I run an update, it vanishes...
Most odd, and totally annoying as I need to set fractional scaling for my in-laptop-display and setup my docked setup for my 34" ultrawide at work.

And have you checked for any Cinnamon-related bug reports, specifically regarding that Cinnamon Applet? Those things will be out of the hands of Garuda developers most generally.
Hi and welcome, what happens after updating and rebooting?
The display settings should be getting changed through System Settings -> Display.
If you click the menu button on the taskbar or hit the meta key and type "settings" or "system settings" it should come right up. On my system the display settings window looks like this:
Is this the option you are missing, or have you been using something else to configure your display?
System Settings -> Display is not present post-upgrade.
This is the applet that I have used for years to configure my displays, and I've been using Cinnamon for a long time now.
Not yet, no.
Hi there, welcome to the community.
I am facing similar issue, and as I have to switch between refresh rates regularly on my laptop, I can understand your problem.
One of the workaround, as mentioned, is Cinnamon Settings -> Display
It is accessible on my side.
Also, I will try to figure out some solution to the issue ASAP.
Thanks for reporting the bug.
Sorry, I forgot to update
sudo sed 's/cinnamon-control-panel/cinnamon-settings/' /usr/share/applications/cinnamon-display-panel.deskto
And logout/reboot.
For some reason that I don't know, Cinnamon devs have changed cinnamon-settings to cinnamon-control-panel in applet. This command replaces cinnamon-control-panel with cinnamon-settings in the applet.
PS : Marking it solved now.
