That is the answer I found in ask fedora … i will move this topic into the The Water Cooler tech-talk
Xorg Officially Abandons “Master” Branch for “Main”, Throws Away 2 Years of Code
I did read the headline. If you want to have it in Fedora you will have to make a change request and justify how and why you need that.
The discussion can also be held here in the water-cooler section.
If and when it can replace xorg then sure why not? Wayland is already pretty good though but there are some wm and desktop that don’t support it yet so there is definitely still a reason to use X11 and also for some older programs. Though I didn’t really have a lot of problems with XWayland so far. I don’t really think that when a project stops being updated that it’s necessarily a bad thing. I think old games would be a great example of that. There are many good old programs too that I have used that still works well. I think Xorg is pretty complete now for what it does.
What happend is that there are a lot of buggy patches from one developer that messed up master and added regressions into Xorg.
Main has taken all the patches from the last 2 years that are trusted and of high quality.
Nothing of quality was thrown away.
I personally wouldn’t want Fedora to use it until it’s proven.
I can prove it on probably the most bleeding-edge stack ![]()
I dropped-in replaced it from Xorg, my xorg.conf snippets for evdev and synaptics worked still as-is, and I visibly don’t notice a difference
(works as-well if not better than Xorg and doesn’t expose differences with games/etc)
I used x11 for a long time because of some weird issues with Nvidia. I use wayland now with no issue.
What i’m basically saying is I’m fine with Wayland.
Seeing that green background and the Start button makes me feel younger ![]()
