Phoronix: Fedora 24 Still Planning For Wayland By Default, Still Some Work Left

Christian Schaller of Red Hat has written a lengthy blog post today about a Wayland update following a BoF from this year's GNOME GUADEC conference. There's still some major work left to be tackled before Wayland is ready to replace X, but the plan is still to make the default switch for Fedora 24 Workstation...

At least by the time Fedora 24 is out, the AMDGPU work will be complete (or mostly so) so that the binary blob as well as the FOSS driver will work with Wayland (and new kernels)

Poor Nvidia users probably won't have a working Wayland-compatable blob for another two years or so

AMD's Mesa drivers work just fine with Wayland.

Last time I read a similar post here, they were saying that it will happen in F22...
