Primary focus for GNOME will be Wayland. There are a few things that Wayland does not support that X did support. This will result in having to do things differently. See e.g. the various forms of 'deprecate' is mentioned on https://live.gnome.org/Wayland/GTK%2B as well as https://live.gnome.org/Wayland/Gaps. Various things will be changed. Eventually GDM will use Wayland, but then still allow X sessions to be started. In short term, GDM won't use Wayland but allows Wayland sessions. See https://live.gnome.org/Wayland/gdm. Due to primary focus on Wayland, the X support in GNOME shell will probably not be at the same level as Wayland (see links above for background reasoning). Secondly, GDM should always allow to start X sessions (start X based desktop environments). -- Regards, Olav -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
