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.

Saved the video for later, but does anyone have a synopsis of the recco? Is switching to neovim the answer or are they taking the vim repo in a specific direction?
I scrubbed through it quickly.
First half is about housekeeping, history, funding, etc.
Second half is about future directions and it seems conservative. No huge changes planned, other than a new website. :) Discussed encouraging new developers, polling users for what to do next, maintaining quality.
Ended with some q&a.
9.2 will include XDG (.dotfiles) and Wayland support.
What does wayland support mean in the context of vim? Like wayland clipboard or what?
One should probably search the commits for wayland but I am on mobile right now:

Appears to be the GUI version and the clipboard support, yes.
