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).

I haven't used Fedora in years but I agree with the other person (vallor?) that
after install it seemed like there was a lot of work to install what I would
consider basics and if I remember correctly, I needed to go outside the standard
repos to install these.
Also I never liked the default Fedora layout. To me it look rough and cheap looking.
Yes I know it of course can be changed but it was one more less than polished item.

I went LinuxMint, switched to MXLinux for a while and am now back with LinuMint and
am very happy with it.
With Linux there truly is something for everyone willing to poke around.
