Linux

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 don't have any technical insight unfortunately, but from a user perspective Wayland is just not there for me yet, though maybe because I'm on KDE. I mean, it runs, but it's laggy, especially on my laptop which only has integrated gpu. And I get way lower frame rate with games. Fractional scaling is also not implemented yet on KDE. And I keep hearing that screen sharing doesn't quite work though I haven't tried myself. So, way too many deal breakers for me for now, granted many of these might only be problems on KDE, but I won't switch to Gnome just so I can maybe run Wayland. I recently finally ditched Nvidia and was kinda hoping Wayland will be an option for me now but unfortunately no.
