Part 11/12:
The landscape is more complex than the narrative of an imminent, wholesale switch to Wayland would suggest. While major distributions and desktop environments are pushing for Wayland as default, real-world usage remains divided. Data indicates that a substantial portion of Linux users still rely on and prefer X11, or at least are hesitant to make a complete switch.
This ongoing tug-of-war highlights a community in transition, with technological, strategic, and user preference factors all at play. The push for Wayland’s adoption may be less about proven superiority and more about industry control, future-proofing, and standardization.
