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.

Many compositors already have patches for explicit sync which should get merged fairly quickly.
Both Vulkan and OpenGL have support for explicit sync
Apps don't need to support it, they just need to use Vulkan and OpenGL, and they will handle it.
Wayland has a protocol specifically for explicit sync, it's as much a part of Wayland as pretty much anything else that's part of Wayland.
Mesa has already merged explicit sync support.
so basically every single statement was incorrect ? lol
