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.

Not yet. Biggest dealbreaker for me is screen sharing not working in Slack, which I need for work. Once that’s no longer an issue I will be more inclined to make the move. Given that plasma is becoming the default choice for distros, I hope Slack devs will make this a priority.
What I look forward the most with Wayland is actual support for fractional scaling. I think fractional scaling is required for a pleasant experience when using high dpi monitors, but Slack screen sharing has higher priority for me.
I actually had to switch to Wayland to be able to stream with audio on Discord.
WHAT! might I ask if you need any special version of discord? Or does audio sharing just-work on wayland
The official Discord app is halfway there. Sharing a window works with sound, sharing the entire screen doesn't work at all. Webcord can share the entire screen, though I don't know about sound yet.
To be entirely fair, Discord on windows can't share the entire screen with sound either, at least for me.
Yes as far as I know you need special clients for now. I’ve been using discord-screenaudio for a year or so and it works on Wayland. Also with the latest update of Webcord I’ve been able to stream with audio but friends are saying that it doesn’t sound as good.
Other than showing the xdg-portal popup when sharing your screen the experience is essentially the same as the Discord app.
