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.

Wayland will be an unmaintainable patchwork of protocols, once it will have the same functionality as X11 has.
But it wont, x had to accomodate every desktop's needs, wayland is the way it is specifically so desktop can implement wat they need, and only the common stuff has to be part of the official protocols
