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.

I thought that "Wayland by default" being merged meant it will be a part of the next release but there wasn't even a mention of it. Will it be a part of the next release maybe?

I could be wrong, but i think that was probably on the alpha release, which is now the beta release, so maybe the next stable release will have wayland by default.

At least according to this article, it seems like Wayland enabled by default will be for the next release!

If it is a feature you have been waiting for you can just switch to it already even if it's not the defaulth

They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the "screenshot" is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.
