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.

Personally, I'm looking forward to native Wayland support for Wine and KDE's port to Qt 6.

Wine + Wayland for sure. It's time to let X11 rest, it's earned it.

Its all finished, the main developer is porting the source code by patches so its easier for the MR to get accepted by the Wine devs.

What do you mean? I play games with Lutris on Wayland without issues.

It goes through XWayland, whereas Wine on Wayland would do away with that later
