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.

Just don't use Wayland. Problem fixed!
Smooth touchpad scrolling on Firefox is a Wayland exclusive feature. I force Wayland for Firefox only for this feature.
how do we force wayland for particular apps when logged into an x11 session?
Run a nested Wayland compositor inside Xorg session
shudder gross. Wayland is the systemd of display protocols.
If only. Systemd is mature to the point it is the de facto init system and used by almost all distros. Wayland and its compositors are still in development.
Systemd was that way. It was the wide adoption forcing it down our throats that allowed it to mature. Wayland is doing that now.
