This is fantastic… however Fedora 43 Workstation and SilverBlue only use Wayland which doesn’t play well with Citrix… Should 42 also work or does the new Frame 16 rely on a newer kernel (or other)? [I just spent 1 day fighting this…] Fedora 42 still has X11… but Fedora 43 doesn’t.

Yes, it will work on Fedora 42 - but remember, Fedora does not have an LTS release - meaning that you will quickly stop receiving updates.

Alternatively, you can use this:

Additionally, note that Gnome 50 will drop support for x11 altogher. An alternative is to use KDE.

Lastly, consider the Citrix preview of Wayland support:

My understanding is that KDE has/will also drop x11 support entirely as well.

KDE Plasma 6.8 Set to Drop X11 Support Completely

Yup thats the plan - ultimately x11 is going away, and the only real solution is to get programs that support wayland.

a product with paying customers is not going to just leave their customers unsupported

those dudes using still windows xp are making a lifestyle choice

trust the plan
