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.

I started working on Flyaway with the intention of becoming familiar with Wayland, its protocols and extensions, and the wlroots library. Instead, I ended up genuinely liking all three.

That's not a common thing people do tho

True but it's something that can easily be done in xorg because it has almost 20 years worth of tools created for it.

[–] Fisch@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True. But Wayland will get there too, it just takes time.

[–] Gatsby@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah but by that time people will be posting 'relationship ended with Wayland, (next thing) is my new best friend.'
