Not instantly, but steadily.
I think you're also right in your belief, that xwayland will become kind of a common demoninator, but it will never be the full xorg x11 packages: It won't drive any hardware, it will not render fonts, it will not be a compositor,... and I think this makes "just another Xserver" a wrong assumption.
Last time I checked libXft was a X11 application.
GitHub is where people build software. More than 100 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

So no mainstream company cares much about Wayland, much less making big researches about it.
I have several thousand Linux customers, nobody is using Wayland, and they will never be reported on a gaming site.

I'm always reminded of this screenshot: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comme...decoration_is/
The GNOME people can argue their case after libdecoration is production-ready and has gained sufficient buy-in.
(Plus, SSD gives a desktop the ability to have trusted chrome elements on each window, which you'd think would fit with the "Security!" arguments for why Wayland is the way it is.)Last edited by ssokolow; 18 February 2021, 08:49 PM.
