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.

Wayland is the future yes, but it's not ready yet. I will just try it out, see what works.
it's ready for me. I have no problems whatsoever on both x and w, but I use w because of the touchpad gestures
#Wayland has been much better for my setup thus far
What’s not ready for you on Wayland yet?
Nvidia support, unfortunately. Which, while not directly Wayland's fault - at the end of the day, it still means that Wayland is unsuitable for me at the moment.
HiDPI and fractional scaling is still a bit of a pain.
