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.

I think wayland has potential but in it's current state it's just half baked. Once more protocols get merged, ~~maybe in a decades time~~ Wayland should be quite flexible and robust.
That's how I feel as well. IMO it's ridiculous that Fedora wants to remove xorg completely from the repos in the next version.
It is ridiculous. Nothing like says f you to a large percentage of your user base like pushing out a solution that doesn't work for them.
The wildest thing is that current xorg package is maintained by the community and they're still removing it completely because "xorg is taking up too much dev time".
More like over baked but still only half done.
It does have potential. I think anyone denying that is simply wrong. the issue with wayland is purely how slowly it moves and the fragmentation. Now the fragmentation is actually in large part due to how slowly it moves. There are numerous WIP protocols that will greatly decrease fragmentation when all are merged.
I can't wait because it seems like it will happen in the short future of one or two decades xD
