From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been using Wayland for 5 years. There were a few bugs in the beggining, but now it works great. These threads are such a waste of time.
That's great dude. Why don't you go maintain it then, apparently nobody else wants to: https://www.phoronix.com/news/RHEL10-Removing-X.Org
Look up how long btrfs has been in development, or at audio subsystem churn. These things take time, because it's mostly volunteers working on them.
What does this even mean?
It turns out the Canonical dumping random stuff over the wall is not the same as creating a legitimate open source community around a project.
As if there's never been a synchronization bug in X... But also System76 and others are writing Wayland compositors on Rust anyway.
