Are there hard numbers to back up the 80% thing? I don't know one way or the other, I'm just skeptical because I still have applications which don't work correctly under Wayland (Discord), and if I have such problems it wouldn't surprise me if others do too.
It's the default for most of the parent/child distros.
Wayland Only (default, installed):
* Fedora
* Ubuntu
* openSUSE
* Arch Linux
* Pop!_OS
Wayland (default)
* Debian
* SUSE
I use Discord on Wayland every day and have for at least 3 years. Both AMD 9060 and NVIDIA 4060 (and an AMD RX 580).
The distro you use can have a huge impact on your OOTB experience.
> * Arch Linux
Arch doesn't even install a kernel by default, in which possible way does it default to Wayland?
Oops! Sorry I was working in a sheet that had the variants listed and I must have shifted a cell!
Arch clearly doesn't have any "defaults" there. Manjaro is on X11.
SteamOS on Steam Deck does however use Wayland.
