> If you're running a modern Linux desktop you're probably running Wayland

I missed the point when Wayland took over all the major modern distros. Did supersede Xorg now? I've been using X11 forever and never thought of alternatives.

I think Fedora is the only major distro running Wayland by default. Debian and Ubuntu are still on X11.

I think Cannonical shipped 17.10 (or other minor release) with Wayland by default, but subsequent releases reverted to X11.

Debian Buster (which is "stable" now) defaults to Wayland in Gnome, but you can switch to Xorg at the login window, which I had to do this week for screencasting to work as expected.
