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 dunno, i daily sway/Wayland & game without issues (including game streaming). Wayland gaining mainstream support across most distros (especially something as "slow" as debian) is proof enough that its not the eventual replacement, it is the replacement.
Unless I'm mistaken and they've fixed it recently, anything to do with synchronized frame rates still sucks on Wayland, which is terrible for anything but casual gaming.
The primary monitor is FreeSync but the secondary isn't? Welcome stutters.
Want to avoid any delay and present frames immediately, even if it costs tearing? Good luck, ask developers to update their content with specific Wayland support (haha, you wish).
Can't properly replace something if it doesn't yet work for everyone.
