Does Mate 1.28 use X11 or Wayland by default?

It is my understanding that Debian testing uses Wayland. Is Devuan testing (Freia) also using Wayland, or is it sticking with x11?

Your question does not make any sense the way its phrased.

Its not Debian/Devuan using X11 or Wayland, it depends on the DE you are using. I.e. Gnome in Testing is Wayland only meanwhile. Cinnamon can work on both. .....

Thanks for pointing out my ignorance on this issue. So does Mate 1.28 use Wayland or x11? A quick search seems to point to x11.

[Edited subject line to make sense.]

Look on your login screen (assuming you use lightdm). It tells you e.g. "default Xsession" meaning its running on X11.

I'm not using Mate 1.28 on Freia. I'm on Mate 1.26 Excalibur. That's the reason I'm asking. I'd like to know before installing Freia with Mate 1.28. (Also I use Slim, not lightdm.)

Wayland: KDE, Gnome = full support, Cinnamon = experimental, xfce, bugdie = work in progress, mate - no
