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.

The only thing keeping me on X11 at this point is Slack screen share feature. It doesn't work on Wayland to share the entire screen (specific apps do) and it is entirely Slacks fault here.
X11 also has slightly higher FPS for gaming but not much.
Once Wine gets proper Wayland support instead of running through Xwayland the fps situation will change.
And for Slack/Discord they'd have Wayland support if they didnt use ancient Electron versions.
When tech debt finally catches up as a bug...
Microsoft teams screen share for me. Doesn't work at all with Wayland.
