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.

what issues are you having on wayland? I run nvidia+intel and it's completely fine (way faster on old machines too)
No issues at all ngl I wish all the lightweight desktops supported it :(
ig support is a big issue but I use sway on old computers and it runs really smooth
I get that you might want to stick to your favorite desktop though
i am saying lxqt and jwm and stuff like that lxqt has some experimental wayland support but jwm doesn't but its possible for them to add it.
It's not that I have issues - it works just fine in the domain it's designed for. It's that the Wayland system does not provide feature parity with X11. I make extensive use of window manipulation using xdotool and wmctrl for my daily use case, and those are both unsupported on Wayland. It's a fine system for users whose use case fit with its design. It is not a feature complete replacement for X11.
