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.

Unfortunately I still have some breaking bugs with wayland on my laptop.
Most notably big blue button (an open source video conference tool) refuses to connect when using firefox with wayland.
Firefox does not allow copying of urls in wayland if a certain setting is enabled in kde plasmas settings.
I cannot move views around or redock windows in eclipse.
Xilinx vivadi randomly crashes on wayland but not on X11.
Notably, aside from the url copying problem, most of those things will not be an issue for the typical user
