- theodric 3y agoAlright, looks like I got bad intel. It's F40 that will drop the X session for KDE[1,2], coinciding with the Plasma 6 plan to phase out X support. I understand GNOME is also planning to drop X. Evidently Nvidia is not being allowed to hold up Wayland progress by the Fedora team anymore [3]. I just wish they'd fix Wayland bugs like the mouse cursor being tiny in Firefox when using UI scaling, or text twitching on screen like my video card is dying, both of which go away in Xorg. I'll find my own way to make XScreenSavers work.

- hollerith 3y agoWhen you logged into a fresh install of Fedora 34, you got a wayland session. To get an X11 session, you needed to choose it in a pull-down menu on the login screen. I.e., It's been at least 2.5 years since Xorg has "been the default".
