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.

Alright, so what else is needed until Wine on Wayland becomes as good as Wine on Xorg? Is there a checklist, or something? What's left until Wayland gaming is as good as, if not better than Xorg gaming?

With this last merge you can start playing already. Except for shooters, there are a few more merges left to fix the edge cases. Around 4 or 5 merge requests

Wait, so It's actually happening? Wayland gaming will be a thing soon? Plasma 6, releasing in the first half of 2024, has ironed out all but 1 of its "Wayland showstoppers", actively working on the last one, as well as many bugfixes. XFCE 4.20, with Wayland support, is releasing in late 2024. Cinnamon, MATE, Pantheon, and Enlightenment, have all started working on Wayland support and will likely show early stages of it in 2024. AND WINE will hopefully be fully Wayland-ready in 2024. 2024 will be the year of Wayland!!!!!
