Ubuntu's X.Org Session Support Now Split Into Separate Package
Ahead of the now in-place Ubuntu 24.10 feature freeze, the Ubuntu GNOME X.Org session support was split off into its own separate binary Debian package from the main (default) Wayland session handling.
This is similar to what has already been pursued by Debian and other Linux distributions for splitting up the X.Org session support into a separate build. This can be useful if wanting to remove X.Org dependencies from your system or otherwise just trying to maintain a modern Wayland-minded Linux desktop without any extra legacy support or cruft. Fedora Workstation 41 for example is pursuing shipping Wayland-only GNOME desktop ISOs as their default media.
