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.

Good for those who want Wayland native windows.

But as with new code and features, it may have bugs. I wouldn’t be surprised if some distros make it default back to Xwayland instead.

It is default XWayland and will only fallback to Wayland if no XWayland found.

Bro, I just got 9.22 staging. What the hell? 😂

You’re up to date. Staging refers to the updates they release every 2 weeks.

That’s in contrast to the stable releases they release once a year, which incorporates all the development that happened in the past year of staging updates.
