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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Xfce 4.18 released last December with some strides on the Wayland front for this lightweight GTK-based desktop environment, but more work remains before Xfce will be fully compatible with Wayland and its own robust compositor.
The Xfce Wayland road-map was recently updated to reflect the latest work on this major undertaking.
The Xfce Wayland road-map on the project's Wiki has been updated a few times over the past two weeks, namely around the desktop panel plug-ins and applications support for Wayland.
There still isn't a firm timeline or release where they expect to have a complete Xfce Wayland transition complete, but ultimately are aiming to have a native Wayland experience that doesn't depend at all on XWayland and will be using wlroots as part of its compositor.
Many Xfce panel plug-ins are working under Wayland as are a number of Xfce's own applications.
Those curious about the Xfce Wayland Roadmap can find the latest details on the Xfce.org Wiki.
The original article contains 159 words, the summary contains 159 words. Saved 0%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
That just means that the article it self was already pretty straight and to the point. If the TL;DR bot can't condense it it's already without "fluff".
Yah, and phoronix is usually a very to-the-point website. But I still found it funny :)
