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.

Can anyone give a layman an explanation as to what makes software like this unmaintained? It seems like it should be fine if it works and is still getting updates.
It will 90% have no wayland support. It may have bugs that are not resolved. It may rely on outdated software components and break if distros stop shipping it.
