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 had a similar positive experience with Gamescope, which tamed a game that freaked out every time I moved the moude onto the other monitor.
Maybe Wayland's healthy place is as a secondary window system you launch inside your normal X11 session.
Yeah you've got that perfectly backwards.
Wayland allows X11 apps to open using XWayland. Not the other way around.
Xorg's life is running short and will be largely abandoned in the near future.
I admire your optimism but some governments are still using floppy disks.
I don't see how this matters lol, as govt will happily used abandoned media and software.
We're here talking end users and homelabs, not IBM mainframe maintainers 😛
