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.

Yes, but I can still play steam, any Valve game and atm any Linux steam game on X11.

I don't hate Wayland as a project, I just don't like Wayland as it current state. Give me better stability, better support with multiple monitors and a compositor with more customization, and I'll be happy.

But, in my opinion, Wayland is by design opinionated. Some ideas are good, such as the security model, some are both good and bad, such as the Compositor VS Server+WM debate (both good systems in my opinion), some are just bad (no unified screen management option; obviously there are LOTS of protocol extension, but not all are supporting everywhere)

So, imo, WayLand just needs a stable, (really) customizable Compositor with all useful extensions and designed to put other components together; I'm still on my X11+awesomewm+rofi+polybar, and I want a customizable, stable and module approach on Wayland.
