Начиная с #Kubuntu 25.10 будет оставлен только сеанс на базе #Wayland (это вариант с #KDE).
И в осеннем #Ubuntu 25.10 не будет сеанса #GNOME на базе #X11 (на экране входа в систему будет только сеанса на базе #Wayland).
Для обеих сред возможность запуска #X11-приложений при помощи XWayland остаётся без изменений (это когда Wayland сервер выдаёт себя за #Xorg для работы приложений умеющих лишь в X11).

В библиотеке #GTK бэкенду для протокола X11 присвоен статус устаревшего, в феврале 2025. А в более новой версии #GTK5 планируется оставить только поддержку Wayland.

@GTK Is the fractional scaling described here [1] for GTK4.14 already the actual true fractional scaling that was described here [2]? This would be amazing. I was afraid that the have to wait until #gtk5
