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.

Thank you for saying this. I noticed too
According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/security#Use_Wayland
6.5 Use Wayland
Prefer using Wayland over Xorg. Xorg's design predates modern security practices and is considered insecure by many. For example, Xorg applications may record keystrokes while inactive.
If you must run Xorg, it is recommended to avoid running it as root. Within Wayland, the Xwayland compatibility layer will automatically use rootless Xorg.
X is less secure.
the shitpost level in this is glorious, but... maybe someone should start linuxmemes community for these no-content posts?
This is LinuxCirclejerk level of content.
There is !linuxmemes@lemmy.world and !linuxmemes@lemmy.fmhy.ml.
I mean... "who needs features in 2022" is onto something. But I use both, for various Nvidia and laziness related reasons, and have a dim idea what they do inside, as probably most flamers on the topic.
Almost as if rome wasnt built in a day
but maybe in some years?
Just this year Wayland finally became my default. It's still broken in a few ways but I'm now on the side of it being a better solution that X.
Not everyone's user experience is the same. There's a lot of use cases that Wayland doesn't make sense yet.
Wayland works fine for me nowadays
Seriously. Once Gnome Night Light works right in it, I'll switch. Until then, I'm in X at night. Redshift is not a suitable replacement.
