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.

Does it support Wayland, yet?
There's experimental support, they're hoping it'll be feature complete by 2026.
There is an experimental option for it but not fully supported no. It works pretty well but youll have black lines and glitches sometimes.
To add, this means no it's not yet officially supported.
I installed an emoji quick search app (not sure what one). It freezes Wayland/mint.
I tried Wayland once and didnt realise I was still logging in with it.
