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.

It's not like I give a flying fuck about downvotes regardless but when it comes to Wayland the X11 folks are just wrong. It's time to move on, and bitching and screaming isn't going to make the developers come back to fix it. It's Weekend At Bernies, the display manager.
Shut the fuck up, install Wayland, and help submit bug reports and make it better. It's the future.
