Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 plans for Wayland and Xorg server

We’ve decided to remove Xorg server and other X servers (except Xwayland) from RHEL 10 and the following releases.

Thank you for sharing your plans. I'm glad that #GNOME now has the resources to update its accessibility stack to fully support Wayland. I'm optimistic that this will be ready in time.

@matt yeah, and honestly is one of the things that worry me the most, accesibility has always been a point that hasn't been very well maintained. But let me tell you, we discuss it regularly in the community as well as internally at Red Hat, and it was part of the evaluation study we did internally, which sparked various concersations across different teams. We're on top of it, hopefully more progress happens that we can show.

@matt and Matthias Clasen told me you're the person that will help on this in the GNOME Foundation, sorry I didn't recognize you! We're so lucky to have you there.

Yeah, I just started prototyping a new accessibility stack designed to natively support Wayland and sandboxing, and to push forward the state of the art in accessibility in other ways I personally care about. blogs.gnome.org/a11y/2023/10/2…
