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.

Nothing. But once Wayland supports xscreensaver or vice versa I’ll switch.

For me it's the ability to screenshare at work on Wayland.

How come it doesn't work? Which compositor are you using?

I don't know, and... I don't know.

I was making a go of Wayland with Sway wm most recently. I'm back on the ol Xorg with i3 now.
