      Fedoras package enabled it by default.

      I think it was an option. Not by default

      It’s an environment variable. I have MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=true in my sway wrapper script.

      It was a “hidden feature”, pretty much.

    Well good thing I finally realized it wasn’t enabled and set my environment variables to enable it.

    Interestingly enough, Ubuntu 23.10 enables this by default https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/firefox-snap-with-wayland-enabled-by-default-in-ubuntu-23-10-mantic-minotaur/38660

    Finally. I was having some weird graphical glitches, so I switched it to the Wayland backend, and I’ve not noticed any issues. It’s totally stable (at least for me).

      Huh, I’ll give that a go as occasionally some black blocks and other artifacts appear for me- thought that it couldn’t handle high def or something.

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.
