It is soo crazy that there are still Cinnamon, Budgie, XFCE, LXDE and basically LXQt with no Wayland support.
While KDE and GNOME have it literally for years.
Fedora has Wayland by default for GNOME since 25, which is 7 years ago!
LXDE is dead.
LXQT is working on it, and I believe are already shipping some initial version: https://lxqt-project.org/release/2024/11/05/release-lxqt-2-1-0/
XFCE 4.20 introduced initial Wayland Support: https://xfce.org/about/news/?post=1734220800
Cinnamon has an experimental Wayland Session: https://9to5linux.com/cinnamon-6-0-desktop-environment-arrives-with-initial-wayland-support
Budgie, as per the article, will be Wayland-only from Budgie 10.10, to be released in Q1 2025.
So I’d say the Wayland transition will be complete for all in either 2025 or 2026 at the latest.
lxqt and cinnamon do support it to a large extend though? LXDE and Budgie are barely alive projects so its not really surprising.
