--- Comment #3 from Daniel Stone <daniel at fooishbar.org> ---
Let me rephrase what you're saying. 'HTTP is a computer protocol that specifies
the communication between a web browser and a web server. Because of that, you
have to know what server HTTP serves.'

I believe you have it backwards. Users do not start with a technology (Wayland,
HTTP), and work from there to an implementation (GNOME/KDE, Chrome/Firefox).
They start with the visible part (the desktop/browser) and the implementation
is a detail of this.

It's incredibly obvious what desktop you are running. If you're running GNOME,
it looks like GNOME. Ditto KDE and Enlightenment. Whether or not it's running
on X11 or Wayland is an implementation detail of that desktop.

I understand what you're saying, but I do not believe there are users out there
who know that they are running Wayland, but are not sure if they're running
GNOME or KDE or way-cooler.

Again, the principle remains: start from the top down. If you are having issues
with Fedora, report the bug to Fedora. If you are having issues with GNOME,
report the bug to GNOME.
