By GNOME 50 next year upstream could completely remove its X11 session

Fortunately I can choose something NOT Fedora. If they go through with this,
adios Fedora on the laptop I never use.
 
Non-problem solved.

Yep. The only problem I have with Fedora is that it constantly breaks
the NVIDIA driver. Otherwise, I'm in favour of them continuously
improving the experience by phasing out older software. In the end, if
people don't like the change away from X11, they can choose a variety of
distributions that insist on keeping it. That's what great about Linux
and its almost unlimited amount of choices.

Yep. I'm not that crazy about IBM/Red Hat anyhow. CentOS was my first "I'm
finally moving away from Windows" distribution. But Red Hat swallowed them
up (well after I quit using CentOS, I should add).
