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.

The problem is, that's always used as an excuse to force people to be gratis beta testers. I've been around for the wrecks that were (and still are) Pulseaudio and Systemd. Wayland is even worse: it doesn't even fully start a session in my machine. If as devs you want to "iterate", sure, go ahead; but leave it in the dev branch; as a user, don't try to sell me Wayland again until it's actually over.
it's opensource software, don't like it? go ahead, don't use it. They don't owe anyone shit
