Ubuntu developer Sebastien Bacher unveiled today in a short announcement that the Ubuntu Desktop team is considering moving to a display server using the next-generation Wayland protocol by default instead of the more vulnerable X.Org Server. This isn’t Canonical’s first attempt to enable Wayland by default in Ubuntu, but it might just be the right time since many bugs and blockers were resolved since Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) four years ago, such as desktop sharing.
