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.

True considering 90% of linux desktops are still x11 only outside of kde and gnome (they use x11 as fallback)
So, 90% of Linux users are using Wayland already?
No I mean 90% of desktops support x11 not users
It saddens me to see you being downvoted by the Wayland evangelists when it is CLEARLY not a stable(EDIT: feature complete) replacement for X11 yet. If I could upvote you twice, I would.
If only x11 worked well in the first place. But its many flaws are never going to addressed because the developers only work on Wayland
I'll never make the claim that X11 is perfect, but my use case requires features that are either not built into Wayland yet or simply won't be built into it in the future.
I'm sure it's a fine product, but asking me to change my workflow to use it is a non-starter. When it reaches feature complete support of X11 functionality, I'll consider changing.
what issues are you having on wayland? I run nvidia+intel and it's completely fine (way faster on old machines too)
It's not that I have issues - it works just fine in the domain it's designed for. It's that the Wayland system does not provide feature parity with X11. I make extensive use of window manipulation using xdotool and wmctrl for my daily use case, and those are both unsupported on Wayland. It's a fine system for users whose use case fit with its design. It is not a feature complete replacement for X11.
