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.

If only for the sake of one's CV. Making your bones by having a couple of 0-days under your belt helps a lot of folks find jobs these days.
Rootless Xorg is still a niche thing?
What do you expect? X11 is in maintenance mode. Although I'll miss Polybar, I won't miss the protocol.
Is it? Afaik it very much is not
It is. That's why Wayland is being pushed so hard, it's a codebase that's actually maintainable, with hopefully some more modern design and engineering principles.
