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.

The fact that you're comparing Wayland to XFCE tells us you're not entirely sure what you're doing. One is a compositor and the other is a desktop environment.

Your problems are with GNOME. I dont even think you could define what X11 and Wayland are based on your posts, much less articulate why one is better than the other

Start by reading about Wayland. Don't make shit up and defend a position you can't even articulate. It's cringe.
