The Fedora development team is working very hard on the next generation version, Fedora 25, which will bring the latest technical improvements.
Wayland is a new technology. This next-generation display server is designed to replace the old X.Org server (ie X11). X11 is used as the default display server by almost all GNU/Linux operating systems. However, X11 itself has many security vulnerabilities, but cannot be repaired due to various reasons. Therefore, there have been calls for the design of new display servers to replace the X11 servers that have been used for decades, and Wayland is an expected replacement.
Wayland's replacement process continues, albeit slowly. Many open source software, such as those in the GNOME and KDE families, are actively supporting the new Wayland display server. In addition, the Enlightenment family and other software that are not part of the desktop environment family but are also actively developed are also supporting Wayland. support. In addition, Canonical has developed a display server of their own, called Mir, which is also used to replace X11, but it has only made certain progress in the Ubuntu family.
As a technology pioneer in the Linux distribution industry, Fedora is always actively adopting various new technologies in their distributions, such as Systemd and Wayland. Although this has brought some negative consequences - such as release delays, stability and compatibility are sometimes not very good, but as a distribution for RHEL and CentOS, it seems understandable - Just for fun, new technologies are always Fun, isn't it?
Starting from Fedora 24, they have been thinking about using the Wayland display server by default in Fedora, but until the release, it was not completely done, and they could only put this important task into the next version, Fedora 25. Last week, a new feature proposal draft was published on the Fedora Wiki website , proposing that the Workstation version of Fedora 25 use Wayland as the default display server for the GNOME desktop environment.
The draft says "We will make GDM use Wayland by default in GNOME. If Wayland is not available (such as when using an nvidia graphics card), the code will automatically switch to Xorg. Users can set WaylandEnable in /etc/gdm/custom.conf =false to disable Wayland, but no longer set separate entry menus for X11 and Wayland for GNOME.”
Users won't notice a significant difference using a different display server; in fact, using Wayland will make applications better isolated from each other and from the underlying system. In other words, Wayland is more secure than X11.
Fedora 25 is currently scheduled to arrive on November 15 this year. Of course, according to Fedora's "tradition", postponement is inevitable, and it has already been postponed once. But it doesn't matter, you'll get used to it if you wait. Before the release of Fedora 25, you can also use the Wayland display server in Fedora 24 and feedback the problems you find to the community so that they can better improve the performance of the Wayland display server. In short, I hope Fedora 25 can bring us surprises. Using Wayland as the default display server will obviously bring guidance and will inevitably lead some distributions to follow suit.
