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.

VMware Horizon client in Wayland? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm old school Xorg, but want to give Wayland a go. The application that has me stymied is VMware Horizon client . It explicitly doesn't support Wayland, but shouldn't it work under Xwayland? How do I explicitly make it run with that, and not fail telling me Wayland isn't supported?

Unfortunately I still get "The display server protocol that you are using is not supported." when I set the environment variable. Other ideas?
