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.

TLDR: XFCE and Cinnamon devs are ~~begging~~ beginning to work on Wayland support.

Check the input leap project. While I haven't tested it myself, Wayland support got added like a year ago. You still needed to rebuild some packages, but reading the issue tracker now it seems to have gone a long way.

Unfortunately it is still not considered production ready. At this point I assume they will have it implemented and ready way before synergy though.
