You mean as in, out of the box? Because you can install either or both on any distro. I don’t even have an X server nevermind a Wayland thing on most of my installs of Linux.
For gaming you kinda need Xorg to use Gamescope which adds a lot of useful stuff to gaming on Linux that even Windows doesn’t really have on that same level.
If I needed a graphical desktop for productivity I’d rather install Xorg because it has a lot more software support and options (I mean i3) and no actual flaws or downsides I can think of as an end-user and tinkerer.
I fundamentally don’t know what problem Wayland really solves, like PulseAudio is dogshit so something like PipeWire makes sense.
The cybersecurity arguments against X and window isolation in my professional opinion are utterly absurd, anything with that level of access will have access to all that shit in virtually every other way.
I didn’t say most. I said many. As for why and whether it’s a good thing, that really isn’t up to anyone but the people working on said distros. I’m not gonna argue with you over it, because I don’t really care either way. But it looks like things are moving in that direction, and I wouldn’t be surprised if SteamOS defaults to running things under Wayland in the future.
It’s not like it’s particularly hard to tell KDE not to log in to a Wayland session, so I don’t see the harm in it if they do.
