it seems that in the latest GDM version bump that X11 support was
dropped. Downgrading GDM brings back the "GNOME on X11" option in GDM
and I can log back in just fine with X11.
This is going to cause a lot of problems for users that use Fedora for
things such as gaming on Linux. Some games do not work well with Wayland
just yet and have many issues. Screen sharing on things like Zoom have
had major issues too in the past which will impact people who use Fedora
as their daily driver at work.
I don't recall seeing that X11 support was going to be dropped from GDM
at all in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/WaylandOnlyGNOMEWorkstationMedia
or any of the other Change requests. The
WaylandOnlyGNOMEWorkstationMedia change stated that users could install
the packages if they wanted to still run X11 over Wayland.
To start with, leave a comment and negative karma on the pending update
in Bodhi [1], preventing it from progressing to stable eventually.
You should also go ahead and file a bug against gdm. It's too late in
the release cycle for such a change to land in F41 by any means. Even if
that would have been part of a change proposal it should have been ready
and testable before beta freeze.
Once you have that bug, nominate it as a blocker issue [2]. Though,
technically it won't be part of the release since we are in freeze, it
will land as a zero day. And then, as you noted, all hell will break
loose with people no longer being able to log in to their systems.
