Nah, that's not Linus. A double, probably. I mean, there's the expression? Colorful language? Some profanity, at the very least? > As far as Gnome on Wayland, X.org's days are numbered, and for good reason.

Ok. > However it cannot be made ready unless people are actually using it in > the wild, and submitting feedback. That's understandable. I mean, code tests and Continuous Integration are for the cowards, right? Real developers test their code on users. Both GNOME and KDE are famous in this regard. > Additionally, every major Linux distro supports Wayland, provided their > chosen DE supports Wayland. [Carefully looks at Debian 9, Ubuntu 18.10 and RHEL 7.5]. Sure. That's why they're offering X by default. To test Wayland.

In this particular thread we discuss a wish of a Debian User, who in no uncertain terms expressed that GNOME should be dropped from the Debian.
