Ubuntu 25.10 Won’t Support Running GNOME on Xorg

Last month I reported that GNOME’s plans to drop X11 support as soon as this year would have a major impact on Ubuntu as it plans its next LTS release — today, Ubuntu confirmed as much. Ubuntu 25.10 ‘Questing Quokka’ will not include an X11 Ubuntu desktop session. Only a Wayland session will be provided. It will not be possible to run a GNOME-based desktop on X11 in Ubuntu 25.10. Basically, Ubuntu 25.10 will be Wayland-only for those using the regular1 desktop Ubuntu release. This change: All that’s being dropped is the ability to login to and run a GNOME
