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.

Anyone have a nice "Will Wayland work and how to switch" guide? I haven't used it ever, but the time will come soon enough.
There's https://arewewaylandyet.com/
I love those "are we (thing) yet" sites. They're amazingly helpful.
Now that is useful. I see that I might indeed wait a little longer.
I went from decade with dwm into Alpine + Sway and had zero issues. Actually the opposite, all the screen tearing and multi screen issues are now gone.
On my system, Wayland KDE works perfectly while KDE X11 is buggy (Manjaro).
What distro ?
Right now, Alpine. I've gone over the Wiki and don't need to switch any time soon. It is more to have something bookmarked for later.
What feature is holding you back?
