With X being a completely unmaintainable mess, all new and bugfix development stopped about 2 years ago.  Most disturbing is that for the last 2 years there have been essentially no security fixes as a result.  A couple of distros have done some critical bugfixes to try to keep the dead horse alive, but its been on life support for a long time now.  Every distro announced a long time ago that X support would end, and to move on and redesign for Wayland. Some of the original X developers started Wayland as X reimagined 45 year later for the 21st century needs. However, given that absolutely everyone today has compute power on their desk and everyone has a gpu for things like compositing instead of what was available back when X was designed, they made some major architectural decisions that will affect some people, like dropping remote app windows in favour of remote desktops.   As far as I'm aware there are no distros with plans to try to keep on building X.  Its dead.  Today, Wayland can do most of the things that it was envisioned to do, with Fedora probably being the one with the most up-to-date implementation.  Good luck in your search for an up-to-date distro knowingly shipping big security holes today.  Maybe you can keep using an old distro release and airgap your entire inboard network and use X without interacting with the rest of the net as a way out of your dilemma.

Ok my notebook I work with Fedora from Core 1 with Gnome on Xorg-x11

I would like to continue to work with Gnome on Xorg-x11 ... even
after
version 40

What is the best way to do that without change distro?
As I understand it, X11 will still be installable, though I don't know
how long that will last.
