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.

Accelerating wayland développement would mean forking it. As it is right now there's a lot of yapping in their git for every decision, small or big.
You mean feurking
what's feurking
Feurking deez nuts
An optional step in the développement process
The authentic French translation of forking.
French 🫵
I'd be fine with switching over to Valve's crazy high-speed frog version of Wayland if it came down to it lol
That's how you get fragmentation and instability. Then something is changed it needs to be implemented and then tested by all the desktops. If you move to fast you get ahead of development and testing which is very bad
The thing to keep in mind is that it is a protocol. When something is merged all downstream projects must implement it.
