I still am not using Wayland because KWin has some annoying bugs when it comes to focus-follows mouse behavior under Wayland I'm not sure whether KWin can fix it, or if the problem stems from Wayland's refusal to support such a thing.

Gnome also has some bugs under wayland with focus follows mouse. It is incredibly frustrating.

I use wayland on my laptop where I mostly just consume, but on my developer workstation, wayland doesn't cut it yet. I still have too many things using devilspie, wnck, and other x only tools that don't quite have replacements on wayland yet.

Submission + - Aging Linux kernel community is looking for younger participants

Submitted by Lemeowski
Lemeowski writes: Time has been good to Linux and the kernel community, with the level of participation and volume of activity reaching unprecedented levels. But as core Linux kernel developers grow older, there's a very real concern about ensuring younger generations are getting involved. In this post, Open Access supporter Luis Ibanez shares some exciting stats about recent releases of the Linux kernel, but also warns that: "Maintaining the vitality of this large community does not happen spontaneously. On the contrary, it requires dedication and attention by community members on how to bring new contributors on board, and how to train them and integrate them alongside the well-established developers."
