thanks !!!

Question:

I’ve read this https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNOME-Mutter-Drops-X11

and wonder if it impacts in the future

Yeah, it impacts the copr. I won’t be updating Fedora 44 builds in there to the upcoming GNOME 50 builds, and in time, it’ll stop working on Fedora 44 completely, but it doesn’t affect the repository on Fedora 43.

Awesome, thank you for providing this! I didn’t realize that I was still using x11 after upgrading to Fedora 43 and being forced to allow gdm to start a Wayland session. My issue with Wayland is, that Firefox instantly crashes for me and the x11 fallback in wayland has graphical issues.
