Fedora 43 may drop GNOME X11 under a new proposal that aligns with upstream efforts to focus entirely on Wayland from now on.

    I’m surprised no one seems upset about this change.

      Because you can run a “rootfull xwayland” session which is essentially an X11 session but rewritten to be more maintanable.

      After this, it’s a lot harder to be opposed to the loss of X11, because you don’t really lose it.

        That is, if Wayland works for you. If it doesn’t, running X inside Wayland won’t solve much.

      Most apps work fine without X

      I’m not sure that’s really a t(h)ing. I mean, jam lasts for ages.

        Not when you make it yourself.
