The GNOME 49 Release Candidate has some interesting changes, especially the re-enablement of X11 support in the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) component by default as the devs find it hard to cleanly separate GDM’s ability to launch modern X11 sessions. X11 support was disabled in the GNOME 49 alpha release.
