Fedora Workstation 41 Install Media Will Ship With Wayland-Only GNOME


Fedora Workstation 41 has been granted approval for its installation media (ISOs) to ship with only Wayland GNOME support with the X11 support removed.

This change will also not impact those upgrading from prior Fedora Linux releases where the X11 session support is available by default. This Fedora 41 change proposal goes along with GNOME's upstream focus to ultimately deprecate and eventually remove X11 session support. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
