• Ubuntu 25.10 to drop support for X11 in GNOME

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Wed Jun 11 06:40:07 2025

    Jean Baptiste Lallement, a member of Canonical's desktop team, has
    announced
    that Ubuntu will drop support for GNOME on X11 in the 25.10
    ("Questing Quokka") release set for October. GNOME plans to remove
    X11 support in GNOME 49, which is scheduled for September, so
    Ubuntu is looking to be proactive:

    Ubuntu 25.10 is the last interim release before our next LTS (Ubuntu
    26.04). By moving now, we give developers and users a full cycle to
    adapt before the next LTS, align with GNOME 49 and reduce
    fragmentation while simplifying our support matrix heading into the
    LTS.

    Fedora decided in
    early May to drop X11 support for GNOME in Fedora 43, which
    is also due in October.
