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.

True, but the apps that cause the most complaints about features that Wayland lacks (Discord for this one) are usually among the fastest to enable the portals once they're available.
Not sure if Discord is the best example here, as it didn't support the screen capture portal for a very long time.
Discord didn't take very long to add it at all, what took a long time was fixing audio streaming.
Umm yes, they did take ages to support it. It took like 7 years...
tbf, Wayland was hardly relevant for some of that. the first feature request I found was 4 years go. implementing it also required upgrading electron a few versions, so a decent bit of work.
