So Wayland?
- Came here to make this joke. Was an hour too late...
  
  Care to explain?
  
  The X Window System (aka X.Org or X11) has been the default window system in many distros. Recently there has been a new window system called Wayland, so the joke would be that Debian is dropping X11 and switching to Wayland.
  
  Adding a bit more context, X.Org/X11 is often just called X for short
- Does Wayland has its own Mastodon instance? If yes, they could do a funny.
