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.

Fedora KDE 40 does not have an X11 session by default
I didn't know that. So they go out of their way to remove the x11 session. That's odd.
Why would it be odd? This post is about the exact same thing happening with Gnome
Because Gnome defaulted to Wayland for a long time, before they now plan to ditch it's X11 session, while Plasma just recently started defaulting to Wayland. I think Fedora 38 is when they defaulted to wayland in the Plasma edition. Gnome had a way longer lead time, IIRC.
Gnome defaulted to Wayland when it was still very much unusable to be frank, it doesn't really have any relevance for removing the Xorg session.
34, not 38.
