A gnome-session session manager codebase responsible for launching GNOME, as well as for the GDM display manager providing the login screen, has undergone changes that allow building without X11 support, maintaining only components for Wayland. In June, similar changes were accepted into the GNOME Shell and the Mutter compositor. The ability to build GNOME without X11 will enable Fedora Linux developers and other distributions to exclude X11 components from their main builds and reduce maintenance efforts.
The change is part of an initiative developed over the last two years to transition X11 to an optional dependency. The Wayland protocol-based session has been the default in GNOME since 2016, and some developers believe it's time to abandon the X11 session and focus efforts solely on supporting Wayland. Additionally, Red Hat has categorized the X.Org server as deprecated in RHEL 9 and decided to completely remove it in the future significant release RHEL 10.
