That's a good thing, we were going to move to wayland anyways, having xorg as an option will be a crutch for wayland adoption, who is going to betatest when people are still using using xorg.
Nvidia GPUs, X over SSH, not having everything randomly break, mainframe computing (not all that common nowadays, but it's one of the core functionalities of a Unix-like OS that wayland completely ditches)
>using GNOME with X11 in the first place
whyever?
I like a good looking DE with a unified app aesthetic and I want that good looking DE to look good on my GPU
I give fedora 2 or 3 more years until it disappears.
With the recent fedora layoffs I can hardly imagine IBM would want this waste of money much more time around.

Why are they like this? Fedora 41 is just not shipping the xorg session by default for gnome. They're still packaging everything.
It's a publicity stunt typical of modern distro maintainers, who think they're more important than the devs because they run some build scripts. They're free to drop xorg if gnome does, until then they should stop being activist Black folk.
The idea that the existence of an alternative is stopping wayland adoption is comical when it's 15 years old and has been heavily promoted for at least 5 of those. The majority of xorg users now are probably people who reverted from using wayland, given that gnome has been wayland by default for years and plasma 6 is having its own debacle rn.
Trying to force them use their computer the "correct" way is more likely to drive them away from your distro than change their behavior, same as how shipping every package as a flatpak with no care for compatibility issues has turned out.

It was bound to happen, sooner or later.
RHEL 10 drops X11. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/rhel-10-plans-wayland-and-xorg-server

>caring about choice
Weird.
Which distros supports choice?
>Which distros supports choice?
Fedora still supports choice though.
X11 is still in the repo.
That's a good thing, we were going to move to wayland anyways, having xorg as an option will be a crutch for wayland adoption, who is going to betatest when people are still using using xorg.
same bullshit ive been hearing for 10yrs same caope from systemd aswel
>we need to knowingly completely ruin people's working system because we want beta testers
ok so fedora is just a hobby distro
It begins.
What's the usecase for X11?
For running Applications that only work on X.
You can do that with xwayland
SimpleScreenRecorder.
for me its GPU-screen-recorder and for everything that needs GUI I go with OBS
Let's keep an obsolete technology around just so that one shitty app doesn't have to be updated to use modern frameworks.
such as
It has features I need.
graphical remote desktop things iirc
Nvidia GPUs, X over SSH, not having everything randomly break, mainframe computing (not all that common nowadays, but it's one of the core functionalities of a Unix-like OS that wayland completely ditches)

for having proper GTK titlebar on Qt apps on Gnome.
>Qt
Here is your problem. Want to use Qt apps? Use Kde.
remote ssh into graphical programs, remote desktop applications are bloat.
I give fedora 2 or 3 more years until it disappears.
With the recent fedora layoffs I can hardly imagine IBM would want this waste of money much more time around.
So it is true that Fedora is a beta testing distro.

meme distro that only cares about the shinest new meme technologies like wayland or atomic/immutable/whatever distros, not the user
i made the logo

It was bound to happen, sooner or later.
RHEL 10 drops X11. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/rhel-10-plans-wayland-and-xorg-server
Gnometards won't notice because they already dropped all the features that gayland won't support
Hope they're dropping xwayland too, so Fedoragays can enjoy Wayland to it's fullest.
>RedHat beta-testing distro doing beta testing for RedHat
how shocking
