Part 4/12:
The Linux Hardware Survey, maintained by a community-driven effort, collates data from around 6,000 Linux machines. This sizable sample offers valuable insights but is inherently susceptible to bias; users who participate may not represent the broader Linux community.
In the most recent survey, usage of Wayland and X11 hovered near parity—essentially dead even, with each capturing around 47-49% of the market share. Notably:
Wayland: Held a slight all-time high of 49.2% but has since declined to approximately 47.3%.
X11: Maintained a similar share, with a slight increase corresponding to Wayland's decline.
