    Explaining, changes happening too abruptly feel artificial. Wayland’s been around for a while, sure, but it was barely adopted and then a lot of people started insisting on it overnight.

      There is this really strange perception amongst Wayland critics that it had low market share and nobody was using it.

      The majority of Linux desktop users are on Wayland and we still have people posting that nobody is using it or even that it “doesn’t work”.

      Wayland switched to the default in places where it was already popular and is becoming required in places where few are switching away from the default.
