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.

Began moving all my hardware to Linux this year since none of them will run win11 without fk-about-ing - and I just don't want to. So my server, media box and laptop are all cut over, only my main desktop left on windows a bit longer but it's goose is cooked too.
I've tried dozens of distros over the years but I've settled on Fedora KDE.
The why:
In my opinion skipping x11 Will make compatability worse.
Good point - my thought is to go through that pain now while I'm still learning to use Linux properly. I'm not tied into anything yet so I can always swap something out if it doesn't play with Wayland and gets too troublesome.
