For those wanting to build a Wayland-only Linux desktop experience without carrying any aging X11 baggage, GNOME 47 will be able to optionally offer Wayland-only support without carrying X11/X.Org support. This Mutter merge request landed today that allows compiling Mutter with X11 support disabled. That landed today along with this GNOME Shell merge request for being able to disable X11 support too.

    Why? Wayland has been working well on non Nvidia hardware on Gnome the entire time I’ve been using it - since 2016.

    I truly don’t understand the people who make hating Wayland their entire personality.

    You’re in the minority and stuck in the past. Be thankful the devs are keeping X11 as an option for you.
