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.

Wayland, works better with games. Unless it's star citizen, then x11 because it somehow breaks the elevators
Are there any benefits to running Wayland if the games you play need xwayland? Does anyone know if there any games the use wayland natively?
I ask because I just started using Wayland on my gaming PC after a couple show stopping issues were fixed since I last tried it. (Nvidia + KDE on Gentoo)
