To follow the upstream GNOME’s road-map, Ubuntu confirmed to remove the classic X11/Xorg session in the next Ubuntu 25.10 release!
GNOME development team is planning to disable X11 session by default in next GNOME 49 and remove the code in v50.
TLDR: The X11 session for GNOME 49 will be disabled by default and it’s scheduled for removal, either during this development cycle or more likely during the next one (GNOME 50).
For those who are interested in the next Ubuntu 25.10 release, the first snapshot of the development version is available to download for testing on desktop, server, WSL.
Ubuntu introduced new monthly snapshot releases policy few days ago. And, the first snapshot for Ubuntu 25.10 is out available to download for all supported platforms.
