Red Hat plans to drop X.Org packages for RHEL 10 |
|
Red Hat has announced plans to drop X.Org packages from the upcoming release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10, instead using Wayland and (when necessary) XWayland for backward compatibility with X11 applications. "With this, we’ve decided to remove Xorg server and other X servers (except Xwayland) from RHEL 10 and the following releases. Xwayland should be able to handle most X11 clients that won’t immediately be ported to Wayland, and if needed, our customers will be able to stay on RHEL 9 for its full life cycle while resolving the specifics needed for transitioning to a Wayland ecosystem. It’s important to note that 'Xorg Server' and 'X11' are not synonymous, X11 is a protocol that will continue to be supported through Xwayland, while the Xorg Server is one of the implementations of the X11 protocol." Details on this change can be found in the company's announcement. |
