The distro to watch will actually be Debian. When they enable Wayland by default for their stable distro releases, then we know Wayland is here. Fedora is doing this to push the issue. Arch won't do it because of user choice (Until forced to). Ubuntu I am not sure since default it uses Gnome instead of Unity now. But I can't imagine they'll move any time soon. No one cares about what Suse does lol. But if Debian moves over to Wayland on stable, it means this is now the industry default. Similar to when they moved to systemD by default.
Can't wait to see how the other distro devs are gonna react.
Wayland brings a very good and secure way to prevent apps from spying on one another.
I agree to a point. KDE won't be forced. So that covers a number of distros right there. Gnome is...special and not many use it as their main DE. I KNOW XFCE, Mate, Cinnamon won't move quickly. I do think it's the right thing to push development on Wayland. But I don't think it's gonna be as big or quick a deal as their hyping.
