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.

@Helix @Berserkware yeah finally we can get rid of that old X11. its crazy how long time that took :D
Not quite though, there's still lots of stuff missing, e.g. forwarding via SSH, screenshots of all types of windows, DisplayLink drivers...
See also: https://arewewaylandyet.com/ (but just because something exists for Wayland, doesn't mean it works well)
@Helix
That's an interesting website with good info. Thanks for the link.
Would SSH forwarding even be possible with the more restrictive architecture?
Well, you'd probably have to find some clever way to do it. As Wayland doesn't use the server architecture X11 does it's probably pretty hard to plug a local display in a foreign computer with Wayland. Let's see what the future brings.
