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.

xfce is really not an important project IMHO, it's an interface from the 00's that doesn't have a clear usecase to me at all. It's a strictly worse version of KDE in my eyes. The only reason to use it seems to be if you're already used to it and don't want to have to change anything.
they're actually almost completely done: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap

so, i don't think it'd matter if it were true, and it's also false.
