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.

Despite all its shortcomings, I do believe Wayland is the future. Sooner or later, all the funky decorative quirks will be some relics of the past.
Maybe someday, they will be added back, and we'll once again have that jelly window effect, but at the moment, people actually depend on this thing to do some work, even more true with the Windows exodus.
I'd rather that they focus at the risk of being dull rather than fumbling on this chance.
Yes, I know that popularity isn't everything, but considering how big they (and GNOME) are, they can really make The Year of Linux Desktop(TM).
Wobbly windows is back already, as is The Cube.
Hell yeah! Scratch that part about being dull and boring then!
yeah the wayland effects are way nicer than what was possible on x11.
