He posted two days ago about Linux Kernel 5.1-rc5: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/4/14/265 As far as Gnome on Wayland, X.org's days are numbered, and for good reason. The major DEs are all pushing for the move to Wayland, but they continue to support X because Wayland isn't fully ready. However it cannot be made ready unless people are actually using it in the wild, and submitting feedback. Additionally, every major Linux distro supports Wayland, provided their chosen DE supports Wayland. Some major ones even USE Wayland by default where possible. It will not be long before X is deprecated, and then fully removed. This all stems back to Synaptic being removed from Debian Buster right? Well, all someone needs to do is update Synaptic with proper Wayland support. But judging by the upstream development, it appears that Synaptic might be abandoned? https://launchpad.net/synaptic Well, it's maintained by an Ubuntu developer, and Ubuntu doesn't even ship Synaptic anymore. All the same, hardly a reason to drop Gnome. My 2¢ -Matt
