GNOME Introduces Wayland-Only GNOME 50 Desktop
|
8.1
The GNOME Project releases GNOME 50, codenamed Tokyo, in 2025 and makes the desktop Wayland-only by removing X11 sessions while retaining XWayland for apps. The update brings accessibility overhauls, parental controls, HDR screen-sharing, improved variable refresh and fractional scaling, plus app refinements such as faster Files and enhanced PDF annotations. Ubuntu 26.04 "Resolute Raccoon" and Fedora 44 will ship GNOME 50, accelerating Wayland adoption.
Scoring Rationale
Official GNOME release enforces Wayland with broad distro impact; limited AI/ML relevance lowers cross-domain significance.
