X.Org Server Development Hit A Decade High For The Number Of Commits In 2024
To much surprise, the X.Org Server Git tree saw the most commits in 2024 going all the way back to 2014..
While there were many more commits than in years prior, it's not a sign of resurgence for the X.Org Server with Wayland continuing to become the dominant force on the Linux desktop. Enrico Weigelt ended up being responsible for 63% of the Git commits to the X.Org Server this year...
