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.

For some definitions of "works"
"it works for me!"
Likewise, there are plenty of definitions of "better" that make Wayland a lot better. It's just that it's a lot of work to make something better, especially for some interpretations of "better".
I was responding to someone who saw no need for Wayland to exist, not advocating for everyone to use it
Yeah I was just elaborating on your point.
