GNOME 49 Release Candidate Ships With GDM Re-Enabling X11 Support By Default


The GNOME 49 release candidate '49.rc' was just released as we close in on the stable GNOME 49.0 release in two weeks.

We still plan to remove GDM's full X11 integration in a future version, and leave only the ability to launch modern X11 sessions. "- GDM has added logic to retry the preferred display server (Wayland) before falling back to alternatives (X11). - GNOME Foundry has prepared a lot of work on its LLM, VCS / Git, Tweak, and Template APIs.
