An Update on the X11 Gnome Session Removal

a year ago

GNOME has disabled the X11 session by default starting with GNOME 49, requiring explicit enabling during builds.
XWayland remains unaffected; only the X11/Xorg session and related functionality are impacted.
Early snapshots (49.alpha.0) were released ahead of schedule to gather feedback and testing.
Three scenarios for X11 session removal: likely removal in GNOME 50, ideal removal before GNOME 49.beta, or unlikely reversion due to major issues.
Testing is encouraged via GNOME OS Nightly, with minor issues already fixed in the alpha.0 snapshot.
Distributors are asked to maintain the default or provide reasons for shipping the X11 session.
Happy Pride Month and Free Palestine sentiments were expressed by the community.
