In terms of usage numbers, X is very, very dead. Android uses something that looks a lot more like Wayland than X (or arguably Wayland looks a lot more like Android's SurfaceFlinger than X, but whatever), and ChromeOS is Wayland as well. I'm pretty sure Steam Deck is also Wayland.
- tuetuopay 3y agosteam deck is indeed wayland with their own compositor called gamescope[1] for low-latency gaming (they target the fewest buffer copies as possible). Another nice side-effect it has is hdr support on AMD GPUs. 1: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope
- blueflow 3y ago> In terms of usage numbers, X is very, very dead Thats wishful thinking. Citation needed.
- kllrnohj 3y agoCitation was in my post if you read it more carefully. Android+ChromeOS is easily the 90%+ of the "Linux" market that cares about having a GUI, and even omitting Android then ChromeOS is still more market share than desktop linux is ( https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide )
- blueflow 3y agoHow that is supposed to prove your point? You could argue using similar numbers that GNU coreutils is dead. My company is doing commercial linux and i spent most of my worktime today debugging some XRDP related issue. Everything still Xorg. No idea what you are talking of.
