A strong majority of Wayland compositors are using wlroots. Those that don't are in the minority, but they are mostly cooperative with wlroots aside from GNOME and E.

  Isn't GNOME the biggest single desktop by market share?
  - Sir_Cmpwn 8y ago
    It's hard to measure. Probably?

    Only because Ubuntu users started implicitly using it. KDE looks more popular among those who are explicitly choosing a DE.

      But how do you know if someone explicitly chooses GNOME when it's the default?

        Looking at GOL stats for example, Gnome usage grew when Ubuntu switched from Unity to Gnome (on roughly the amount of Ubuntu users). Before that, KDE had higher usage overall. So my conclusion is that Gnome's majority today can be driven by implicit Ubuntu's choices.

  That's good, but even if one isn't cooperative, it complicates things. And Gnome is quite big.
