Just in case someone else get this issue with newer images of Silverblue 41 and other ostree images,
Starting from Oct 28, some important packages are not part of the base images and X11 will fail to start. Not sure exactly what in the list is critical, but here it is. I wish something could be done to make this easier to install back. I had a lot of trouble getting to this list…
setxkbmap-1.3.4-4.fc41.x86_64
xhost-1.0.9-8.fc41.x86_64
xmodmap-1.0.11-7.fc41.x86_64
xorg-x11-xauth-1:1.1.3-2.fc41.x86_64
xorg-x11-xinit-1.4.2-3.fc41.x86_64
xrdb-1.2.2-4.fc41.x86_64
