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.

TLDR: XFCE and Cinnamon devs are ~~begging~~ beginning to work on Wayland support.

I read this:

... We will also have our eye on Wayland when the time comes.

Seems they still aren't compatible with Wayland... that's why I said if in 2 years none of they still don't support Wayland... I'm sure there will be another tool ("Barrier" for example) that supports it and will be the time to move on to another software.

I am aware, but check the referenced issues. Support has been merged like a year ago and at least gnome on Wayland should work out of the box. It's incomplete, but it should be working

Also barrier is considered abandoned at this point the previous maintainers forked it which actually is leap input.
