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.

This is my biggest gripe with Wayland - the ecosystem around it is just so poor compared to X. There are dozens, maybe even hundreds of window managers for X, while Wayland just doesn't have anywhere near that number.

I hope it will change in time, but for now, I just can't justify trying it yet when it feels like the ecosystem around Wayland is just so small.
