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.

Nobody is forcing you to use Wayland. Just take up the mantle of maintaining X11 yourself, because nobody is forced to keep that alive either.

But wayland people will call me a bigot for using X11

wayland solved a vsync issue i had with firefox

  • obs works with full screen capture on wlroots and also with per-window capture on kde and gnome

  • redshift is for xorg. use gammastep on wayland instead

Good for you. Wayland solved zero issues and created hundreds of new ones for me and plenty of people.

I slowly start to believe that sh.itjust.works needs to be defederated. I've been seeing too many idiots on that instance lately.
