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.

Both are not ready. LXQt will be soon though.
+1 for LXQt. But what do you mean XFCE is not ready? Never used MATE, so I cannot tell, but XFCE seemed solid when I used it
It doesn't support Wayland.
XFCE on Wayland is solid?
Aha, I see, thank you
LXQt is already on Qt 6.6 (?) which means native wayland-first support.
They are not fully done but that will only be a month or so.
Until then, I dont know really? Will be great!
Meanwhile MATE and XFCE are on GTK3? Which is not perfectly wayland ready afaik.
