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.

I thought about 21.3 but don't want to use something experimental. What is Weston? It's good to hear that it works on Mint
Weston is basically Wayland within an X11 app. You can run Wayland stuff with it but it'll be constrained to that window.
I'll check that out!
Check out the Waydroid script I posted, it'll help you with figuring out how to run Wayland programs.
I will. Thank you very much
