Ubuntu 25.10 to drop support for X11 in GNOME

Description:
Jean Baptiste Lallement, a member of Canonical's desktop team, has announced that Ubuntu will drop support for GNOME on X11 in the 25.10
("Questing Quokka") release set for October. GNOME plans to remove X11
support in GNOME49, which is scheduled for September, so
Ubuntu is looking to be proactive: Ubuntu 25.10 is the last interim release before our next LTS (Ubuntu
26.04). By moving now, we give developers and users a full cycle to
adapt before the next LTS, align with GNOME 49 and reduce
fragmentation while simplifying our support matrix heading into the
LTS. Fedora decided in
early May to drop X11 support for GNOME in Fedora43, which
is also due in October.
