Debian 10 "Buster" Currently Defaults To GNOME On Wayland, But That Still Could Change

[Weasel]

It should default to the future oriented Wayland and bugs should be fixed.

The only future Wayland leads to is the trash bin.

It should default to the future oriented Wayland and bugs should be fixed. The more people are using it, the more focus it will get from hardware vendors as well. People stuck in the past can manually change to X.org.

That train of thought makes sense for bleeding edge distros, which is not the case of Debian.
That said, we'll still be able to select Wayland during install...

Should be default, the more people use it, the more bugs can be discovered and fixed.

Good point, but that's not really the principle of Debian, or Ubuntu for that matter. Debian is meant to be stable (interpret that as you will) while Ubuntu is meant to be as compliant and compatible to as wide of an audience as possible. As much as I welcome Wayland with open arms, I don't see it suitable for Debian [stable] or Ubuntu LTS releases. However, I do think having Wayland by default is fine (if not a good idea) for Debian testing.

Majority does not use default in Debian, so whatever it will be... who cares

As long as they don't use XFCE, we can all agree that debianxfce is the worst

Well played Mydude, well played

IBM must have done this evil deed, nobody else supports Wayland

Default? Debian lets you choose during install.

Yes, and one of those choices is considered default and is installed for those users whom simply click "next" without selecting one of the non-defaults first
