| schestowitz[TR2] | "Red Hat employee (and Free Desktop / Wayland Code of Conduct team member), Karol Herbst, posted on Mastodon about, what he calls, “MAGA/Linux”. | Dec 01 11:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | He says that concepts like "neutrality", "everybody is welcomed", & "tolerance" are “MAGA/Linux” “weapons” used to “for their political agendas.” | Dec 01 11:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This @RedHat | Dec 01 11:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | employee also stated that: | Dec 01 11:12 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "What is the true adoption rate of Wayland over X11? | Dec 01 13:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | While the real numbers are difficult to discern (due to the very nature of Linux desktops), the little data we DO have points to significantly lower Wayland adoption than many have suggested. | Dec 01 13:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | According to http://Linux-Hardware.org (a voluntary survey currently consisting of roughly 6,000 computers): | Dec 01 13:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | - X11 and Wayland are currently in a dead heat, jockeying back and forth, within a percentage point of each other. | Dec 01 13:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | - Wayland has not made any noteworthy gains since June of 2024 (over a year ago). | Dec 01 13:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | - In fact, Wayland marketshare is actually DOWN over its all-time high of 49.2% (now down to 47.3%). | Dec 01 13:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | According to Firefox telemetry (yes, Mozilla collects a lot of data on you), we know the following up through February, 2022: | Dec 01 13:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | - Over 90% of Firefox users were running on X11. That’s pure X11, not XWayland running on top of Wayland. | Dec 01 13:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | - Factoring in XWayland that number grows to 92% to 94%. | Dec 01 13:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | While that Firefox telemetry is now a few years out of date, it’s worth noting that this was 14 years AFTER the first release of Wayland and, by this point, most of the most prominent Linux distributions had been shipping with Wayland by default for multiple years (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, etc.). | Dec 01 13:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | According to the Linux-Hardware survey, Wayland adoption grew significantly up through the very beginning of 2024… but never overtook X11 in any significant measure. | Dec 01 13:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | And, in fact, Wayland adoption appears to be slightly on the decline (but only slightly).' | Dec 01 13:42 |
