From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'll take it! Was experimenting with Wayland on Plasma yesterday on my 1080 TI. Still a bit glitchy. Some issues with wine (although it might be Plasma related). But it seems like slowly getting better. I'll check it out with the new drivers once they are on Fedora and see what happens.
Since Redhat will be dropping x11 with Fedora 39, I'm hoping it'll be all systems a go in the near future.
No, they won't. The community-driven KDE team at Fedora plans to drop the X11 session but that's not a Red Hat thing. Fedora will support X11 for the time being. No plans to drop any of the many other X11 desktops at all.
.
Yup. All Red Hat did was deprecate X11 for future releases. So they probably won't be explicitly supporting it, but I imagine that the Xorg session will still be installable.
Red Hat will maintain X11 for Xwayland for the foreseeable future and I'm not aware of any plans to deprecate the Gnome X11 session in Fedora either. Docs such as https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/configuring-xorg-as-default-gnome-session/ don't mention this.
