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.

Better Wine support. It's coming soon, but I prefer xorg until Wine properly supports Wayland.
is XWayland not good enough for that?
I would say Xwayland is good ENOUGH, but it's not great, my clipboard with xwayland is awful on sway, for example. It works, but not the best.
ah, on Gnome it's relatively seamless
I recently stopped switching to x11 for gaming. With most games, the performance is 5-10fps better on Wayland
