Do you have a source for that statistic?
- CodeArtisan 10mo agoStats from Debian and Archlinux. i can't tell how reliable they are. https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=x11-common+gnome-shell https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=x11-common+g... https://pkgstats.archlinux.de/compare/packages#packages=gnome-shell,xorg-server,wayland https://pkgstats.archlinux.de/compare/packages#packages=gnom...
- roryirvine 10mo agoBe aware that Debian's xwayland depends on x11-common, so your number here will be the combined total of Xorg and Wayland. You could try comparing xserver-xorg-core instead, but even then that'll only show you the number of submitters who have it installed, not the number that actually use it. The usual way to get a graphical desktop in Debian (task-desktop) pulls in both Wayland and Xorg, but uses the former by default. The best estimate would be something like the number of xserver-xorg-core installs less the number of xwayland installs. Using that method, it looks like there are roughly twice as many GNOME users as pure Xorg users.
