> You started out claiming that most folks were running in a modern environment that was *incapable* of wayland. I pointed out that this was likely incorrect.
No, I did not say that. This is what I said:
"I would be very surprised if more than 50% of Linux desktops were currently Wayland. XFCE, for instance, does not support it, and XFCE is very popular among individual users. Among corporate users, a large percentage of them are probably still on RHEL 7 and therefore very unlikely to be running Wayland."
I said nothing about more than 50% of Linux desktops being incapable of running Wayland. I just said I doubted 50% of Linux desktops actually were running Wayland. I gave as reasoning for that doubt the fact that there are many popular systems that definitely are not running Wayland.
Based on the Debian numbers we looked up, it appears that I was correct, since it appears that about 40% of Linux desktops are currently running Wayland.
