Wayland won't be the default display server protocol in Gnome Session on Fedora 24, despite all the hype.
Wayland as default was rescheduled for Fedora 25.

https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-24-alpha-released/

>We have decided not to make Wayland, the next generation graphic stack, the default in Fedora 24 Workstation. However, Wayland remains available as an option, and the Workstation team would greatly appreciate your help in testing. Our goal is one full release where the non-default Wayland option works seamlessly, or reasonably close thereto. At that point we will make Wayland the default with X11 as the fallback option.

This probably gives Ubuntu 16 and it's Mir display protocol a chance to pick up the pace and attract more people to it.

What do you think?

Why wouldn't I?

I just run a little background check on this person, she's venezuelan, married and makes photo wallpapers for Fedora.

So yeah, how does she affect anything?

How does one even install GNU+Linux if not by a distro?

>>53756418
Serious question
Once wayland becomes default how will I rice without an .Xresources ?
>>
>>53757217
Probably with a Xresources. Xorg dependant programs will still use Xorg files, I guess.

how well supported are alternative (read: non-gnome) DEs in Fedora?

>>53757389
Bullshit
>>53757305
Same as in any distro, really. Fedora is mostly built around gnome but you can grab a netinstall and pick any DE you like. It will just werk. Fedora netinstaller is also top tier as fuck.

Wish them luck. Wayland is dangerously close to being annexed by systemdicks, so it's good to have promising alternatives.

>>53756418

They need to rename this fucking distro.

I just cant try it until they do.

Are you fucking kidding me?
>>
>>53756652
No distro out right now supports full Wayland integration. Get over yourself.

>>53756825
Because Wayland is dead. It won't ever be ready for any DE.

>>53756848
Kernel only. Without Wayland.

>>53757282
Yeah and Wayland merges with SystemD it will be over.
