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.

waypipewhich allows you to run Wayland apps over ssh.Really? Wayland mentions are getting up there with vegans. We know already, go home!
While I agree Wayland still immature despite decade of development, you don't have to be a dick when voicing your opinion.
Just because someone downvotes your comments is not an excuse to lash out to random people.
They aren't random. They're the wayland cult followers. People say whatever they want about a band of frothing mouthed cultists doing a downvote brigade. Go suck a toe or something, you need a binky.
Just a handful of downvotes baited you into a flamer and lashed out at any comment mentioning Wayland regardless the context. I never insult you or downvoted you even once and yet you keep dishing out vitriol. To make it worse, you even did it to a wrong person. Do my comment history looks like a Wayland fanboy to you? Seriously dude, you need to chill. Don't let some trolls turns you into trolls yourself.
Hey, the vitriol for wayland and it's followers ends when wayland ends or becomes a true full X12... or at a minimum, feature parity with X11, and doing it without other people writing hack add-ons to kluge it to work. Is it dead yet? No? Then why stop criticizing it for it being a huge distraction pulling away the real needed development effort for X?
Three things you can count on. Vegans, Wayland fanbois, and Arch users all telling us about their respective choice. That is being a dick.
