This was one of the reasons I left Fedora and went to Debian.  I had
been tired of the frequent release cycle, and some of the politics, but
the fact they would be earlier than other distros in deprecating X11
pushed me to Debian.  Nothing against Wayland per-se, but it breaks some
X applications, and my Window Manager.

I haven't used Fedora enough to see much breakage, but the laptop I (was)
running it on is pretty generic. I don't like the constant updates either.
Never really needed "cutting edge."
