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.

On https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap it says:
xfce4-panel + xfdesktop + labwc is all the 'xfce' I think I'd ever need; so the wayland port is more or less 'done', AFAIC.
(Thunar has been wayland native since the gtk3 port completed a long time ago.)
Me too. I could use another Wayland compositor and be pretty happy. On my iMac, I have been running Metacity as a WM because xf4wm had some kind of memory leak. Most of the “apps”, including Thunar, already run on Wayland as well I believe.
