Fedora 43 Change Proposal Filed For Removing GNOME X11 Packages: Wayland-Only GNOME


Following a lot of work in this direction toward the end goal of removing GNOME X11 support, this milestone may finally be acheived for the Fedora 43 cycle due out by the end of the year

The change proposal still needs to be voted on by the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) but this has been a long-sought goal for the developers involved. There has been active effort upstream for several years now to close out the remaining user experience blockers to dropping the X11 session code, and that work completed with GNOME 48. By GNOME 50 next year upstream could completely remove its X11 session support.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
