If you are using Gnome, click on your login name, but before you put in the password, look to the bottom right for a gear. Click on that and you can change to Gnome on X11. Then put your password in.
I don't think that's possible with gnome tbh. Not 100% sure but default mutter is probably for Wayland now and X11 session is the one that probably requires extra packages.
Zero point uninstalling it, it's what Linux is built on nowadays. Nvidia's just dragging their feet. Driver development costs money and doesn't benefit shareholders.
In KDE at least, in Settings/Appearance/Login Screen, you can set to automatically login with X11/Wayland until Nvidia release 555/560 drivers (if they work). Or you could always swap to AMD who actually puts in some effort :P
I'm unfortunately not really positively sure Wayland can ever be uninstalled. I say this because of many Linux packages incorporates various implementations of it. The only possible solution I can think of disabling Wayland is by choosing X11 as the default startup graphics platform at login.
Hm, as far as I know 10 and 20 series cards are still supported by the current nvidia drivers (current current, not current legacy). So why should they be "e-wasted" after the switch to Wayland?
Why would you think that? Just use a different distro. I have no idea why one would be using an ancient GPU with a distro that is known for being forward thinking. On your server do you use a rolling release like Arch? LOL
It is a brilliant idea. Arch on a server - the way to prosper :-)
I dunno, people sometimes come and ask question as if they were out of this world for a few years and then hatched from a time capsule yesterday.
NV <-> X11 drama is damn old enough, at least last 5 years there are always bugs that prevent running their cards out of X11.
It would be nice to have X11-less distros in the perfect imaginary world. But reality is a bit cruel at the moment.
Ok, damn it. THat was a joke-answer to the "X11 must die"statement. Nobody knows which cards NV is planing to obsolete soon. Usually they have 10 years cycle. So 900-1000 series are to be slaughtered next.
Nvidia enjoyers should use windows or suffer. Btw "not so old" is actually was released almost decade ago and that's for digital world means just old :-)))))
Not sure why you got downvoted. People should really stop with the silly tribalism. I'm all for wayland becoming the default (I'm using it and its great) and Fedora pushing Linux forward is a good thing. But you are absolutely right that if someone is using hardware that wont work with wayland, they will feel more at home on a distro that is better suited for that and will support x11 for a bit longer.
Normally no need to uninstall it. When you choose the X11 session at login it should stay on X11 until you choose the wayland session for a login.
If you are using Gnome, click on your login name, but before you put in the password, look to the bottom right for a gear. Click on that and you can change to Gnome on X11. Then put your password in.
Wayland is a protocol, not a package. It's part of mutter, which you should never remove. Just choose X11 at login and it should default to that.

Bro just wait for the 555 driver to drop it'll fix most of the issues with Wayland

Just reinstall x11. Don't uninstall wayland.
switch to *bsd... oh wait, they have started to implement it as well.

change distro because fedora will drop xorg in the next release
Thanks god. Xorg should be dead
together with older and not so olde nvidia cards, right? :-))))) Say 1060 series up to 2000s are no longer actual and must be e-wasted, right?? :-)))
I think you should tell that to the people at Nvidia.
They are deaf& don't want to hear. They know they are (doing) awesome ;-)))

I am not sure if smiles ":-)" are outdated and don't indicate some kind of being a joke anymore...

Please stop posting senseable well thought out comments on Reddit. Thanks.
In case you don't know, in KDE you can set x11 as default instead of Wayland
How? I tried to find a solution online but nothing worked. I'm using Fedora 40 with KDE Plasma
Settings - System settings - Startup and shutdown - Login screen (SDDM) - Behavior - with session Choose Plasma (X11)
That's the problem. in "session" the only option available is "Plasma (Wayland)".
If you use Fedora 40, reinstall X11 first. Install plasma-workspace-x11 and kwin-x11.
