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.

Gnome has been running user space applications just fine for me on Wayland, Arch Linux.

There were some issues about 2 years ago. I have no complaints for last 12 months.

Wayland is today’s life for some.

Steam gaming , proton and native
visual studio code
qemu running windows
app interrupting work to relax eyes
old mysql dashboard ui

Basically, I have not seen app specific issues for my user flow.

That's true only for AMD or Intel users.
