TLDR: XFCE and Cinnamon devs are begging beginning to work on Wayland support.

Keep in mind their time line is like 2 years.

Oh so in about that time Wayland will finally be able to fulfill simple UX expectations like, say, global shortcuts?

Is that satire? Wayland is pretty great, and there isn’t really a concept of “compatible app” as Xwayland handles that.

Obviously apps that perform X functions directly (clipboard managers, screen recorders, etc.) will need to be ported or rewritten, as it’s a brand new display manager, but that would be the case with any non-X platform.

Linux

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.
