Wayland-only Desktop Installation#

This option is now supported for the following operating systems, with more to follow in future releases:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 / Rocky Linux 8 / Oracle Linux 8

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 / Rocky Linux 9 / Oracle Linux 9

  • Fedora 42

To drop support for X.org server, its desktop sessions and all relevant user space X driver packages, just remove the X.org server package. There is a reverse dependency on the X.org package for having X components installed with the driver, so by removing it, you’re removing everything that is not required to run an X.org session.

# dnf remove xorg-x11-server-Xorg
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 / Rocky Linux 10

The distribution is shipped already without any X.org component, only Wayland is available.
