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.

Wow, someone needs to grow up. You laid into Wayland when screen recording doesn't even go through Wayland. The app asks the WM to screen record via DBus. A more constructive response would have been "thanks I didn't know that", or perhaps "oh it's a driver issue", or "it's an issue with that WM/ffmpeg/pipewire or whatever", or anything else likely to be the underlying cause. But it's not Wayland. Have you got that? Not Wayland. There is no need to be sore and immature about it.
