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.

still? what distro and what problems? I can't even think of anything I would attribute to wayland when I did the distro hop that put me on it.
I tried Wayland for a day but went back to x11 (using KDE Neon) because of annoyances. Mostly input-related issues:
– I used Fusuma to remap extra mouse buttons, which doesn't work anymore
– Touchpad scrolling is buggy and pinch to zoom barely works
– Espanso has a Wayland version but doesn't work most of the time
– select with shift+arrow and release shift: it also releases the arrow so you have to press it again (seems small but annoys me)
And there's problems with windows opening on the wrong screen and then completely crashing when you try to move it (under Wine with full screen at least), and some apps with weird behaviors like drag and drop not working.
there's your problem
