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.

XFCE doesn't support it yet so I'm not on it.
Also last I tried, autoclickers weren't working
I haven't tried it but the website lists ydotool as an alternative.
Cinnamon doesn't support it yet either, so I'm also not on it :(
Lol XFCE. If your reference is a bunch of software thats sole purpose is to be "traditional", stable and not change, then well.
Btw LXQt will have complete Wayland support soon.
XFCE is my preferred DE when I'm using one. It's got a long lineage going back to FVWM and the setup remains consistent between new updates. I appreciate how it stays out of the way.
For anybody else following along, XFCE is working on Wayland support. In fact, the only component not already supporting Wayland in Git is XFWM4 itself. Wayland will ship officially as part of the 4.20 release.
They are creating an abstraction library that will allow XFCE to support both X and Wayland. Other desktop environments are going to use it as well.
Very interesting!
