Thoughts of The Week

The Great Linux/BSD Display Server War(tm) continues to rage on!

This week, Valves SteamOS finally finished its transition to Wayland by default (demoting Xorg), a move that SteamOS had put off for the last two years. And, just a few days earlier, Slackware (the oldest actively maintained Linux distro) began officially testing XLibre as a replacement for Xorg.

The trend is clear: Xorg is being tossed into the dumpster (at the encouragement of the Xorg team and Red Hat), with Wayland and XLibre each gaining marketshare.

It will be interesting to see how these changes impact overall X11 (in general) vs Wayland marketshare which has been staying steady at roughly 50/50, across all Linux distros, for a few years now.

This is all happening at the same time as Linux is becoming increasingly developed by AI bot, with over 10% of all code submissions to the kernel
being written by AI during the previous week.

The world of Linux is changing and changing rapidly .

Some of those changes seem great. Others are terrifying.

Sometimes well they are both. Ubuntu 4.10, C64, & BeOS Walls

The support shown to The Lunduke Journal , from all of you, continues to
amaze me.
