Guardrails have been in place where the Firefox browser has enabled Wayland by default (when running on recent GTK versions) but as of today that code has been removed…

  • Hey that explanation helps. Thanks.

    It sounds like Wayland is the new thing and it’s been around long enough that everyone plays well with it, so it’s going to be the default moving forward.

    • Yeah it’s been getting there over the years. This stuff takes time to replace since it’s huge and important to get it right. For reference, the initial release was 15 years ago for Wayland.
