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.

Ok cool- sounds like a good move. Thanks for the explanation.
Not really, wayland still has quite a few incompatibilities, lacks and bugs. X11 is still useful for many and indispensable for some.
Wayland is the future and X11 will have to die sooner rather than later, but not today.
