GNOME became "the default" in large part due to the licensing uncertainty that has historically clouded Qt and by extension KDE. After that, it's been inertia.

- lpcvoid 4y agoFor me it was very good out of the box Wayland support which made me use GNOME for a long time.
- LarryMullins 4y agoWayland wasn't relevant until very recently, and hasn't existed even in concept for much longer than that. The Qt licensing matter I'm talking about was back in the 90s.
- chungy 4y agoGNOME's been pretty damn usable with Wayland since around 2015 or so. Enough time that I can distinctly remember three Debian stable releases that run it by default.
