GNOME 47 Can Now Be Built With X11 Support Disabled - Lemmy

>For those wanting to build a Wayland-only Linux desktop experience without carrying any aging X11 baggage, GNOME 47 will be able to optionally offer Wayland-only support without carrying X11/X.Org support. This Mutter merge request landed today that allows compiling Mutter with X11 support disabled. That landed today along with this GNOME Shell merge request for being able to disable X11 support too.

I love the fact that it’s optional.

I wonder how long it’ll be possible to build Gnome with Xorg support. If I had to guess I’d say there won’t be any support within the next 3 years, because keeping future Gnome working with Xorg is work nobody wants to put in.

That said, Xwayland will likely keep being around for the foreseeable future.

Out of curiosity, do you use Xorg and if yes, what’s keeping you from using Wayland?
