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.

Sure but I think the core devs should focus on it. It is a big thing that is important (especially for a piece of always changing beta software like Wayland) yet still missing.
we all have our most wanted missing features but if i'm being honest i don't see how session saving should take priority over e.g. rendering protocols
What's wrong with rendering? It seems to have everything needed for most users. Driver issues don't exactly count here because they're not a part of Wayland. However session saving is very important for any work, especially office tasks. It's becoming critical now when all major DEs make Wayland the default.
Variable refresh rates. HDR. Colour management.
...for starters.
Hm? Wayland has VRR.
The new protocols just announced are to support it. It's a work in progress.
As I already said, I forgot about HDR (and all the other mentioned stuff). The other features are a bit less important for non professional use cases.
