Brodie RobertsonEvery time I do a Wayland or Xorg poll, the amount of people using Wayland keeps increasing, there's absolutely still a ton of X11 users but as distros stop shipping Xorg out of the box over the coming years I do wonder how many strict holdouts there really are, and how many are just using Xorg because that's what there distro provides.
☃️karolherbst☃️@BrodieOnLinux there are still distros out there without systemd as well, so I suspect there will also be those wayland free distros... actually.. is this even a thing?
@karolherbst As long as Xorg still compiles there will be people running 30 year old window managers
@BrodieOnLinux I'm sure they will, I'm just wondering if there will be major distributions not supporting wayland at all.
@karolherbst I really doubt it, distros like Arch and Gentoo will ship Xorg in the main repos for a long time but I can't imagine any major distros actively not supporting Wayland
@BrodieOnLinux we do have distros actively not supporting systemd, so I don't see why wayland should be spared that treatment :D
But anyway, only time will tell.
@karolherbst That's true but they're all niche distros, I do expect some niche Xorg only distros
