With X being a completely unmaintainable mess, all new and bugfix
development stopped about 2 years ago. Most disturbing is that for the
last 2 years there have been essentially no security fixes as a result.
A couple of distros have done some critical bugfixes to try to keep the
dead horse alive, but its been on life support for a long time now.
Every distro announced a long time ago that X support would end, and to
move on and redesign for Wayland. Some of the original X developers
started Wayland as X reimagined 45 year later for the 21st century
needs. However, given that absolutely everyone today has compute power
on their desk and everyone has a gpu for things like compositing instead
of what was available back when X was designed, they made some major
architectural decisions that will affect some people, like dropping
remote app windows in favour of remote desktops. As far as I'm aware
there are no distros with plans to try to keep on building X. Its
dead. Today, Wayland can do most of the things that it was envisioned
to do, with Fedora probably being the one with the most up-to-date
implementation. Good luck in your search for an up-to-date distro
knowingly shipping big security holes today. Maybe you can keep using
an old distro release and airgap your entire inboard network and use X
without interacting with the rest of the net as a way out of your dilemma.

Ok my notebook I work with Fedora from Core 1 with Gnome on Xorg-x11
I would like to continue to work with Gnome on Xorg-x11 ... even

What is the best way to do that without change distro?
As I understand it, X11 will still be installable, though I don't know
how long that will last.
