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.

Curious from people who follow its development closely.
I’m going to buy an AMD video card this weekend solely so I don’t have to deal with the NVidia bullshit anymore. I’m eager to give hyperland a try.
Five years on wayland here, it's been great as long you don't have single Nvidia gpu or need https://xkcd.com/1172/ kinds of x11 features
please don't post that site. I just need a few more things to work well with Wayland like Nvidia Drivers.

I've been using wayland on my laptop somce the new year and beyond some driver issues that were purely on AMD's side (and not entirely Wayland exclusive either) I've had no problems.
Stuff like application scaling works so much nicer on Wayland, and X11 just wasn't very stable when handling fullscreen games to the point where I'd set games to borderless or even windowed mode to stop it crapping out on alt-tab
Didn't you love it when your screen locked and the full screen app had control over your keyboard and mouse!

A little out of date. But still the best source I know of 👍
I think that's incorrect: https://github.com/mpsq/arewewaylandyet/commits/master/
It's what the site says at the buttom, so that's when it was last generated.
Yeah that looks correct
