@sixpack13 What i did to test this:
After doing that, I was able to just choose GNOME on Xorg in gdm without any other fiddling.
Upgraded without issue and now I can use cinnamon again. Everything is working normally.

This upgrade has borked udev rules, causing udev to complain on every rule reload:
systemd-udevd[731687]: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules:39 GOTO="gdm_disable_wayland" has no matching label, ignoring. systemd-udevd[731687]: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules:39 The line has no effect any more, dropping.
Please fix ;)
Thanks for the warning!
I am going to attach a new build, with a special request: please only give positive karma on this update if you have an NVIDIA graphics card.

first centos gets rolled into a fish burrito, and now the fedora update breaks nearly everything with no type of indication that x11 is intentionally gone in this update and ubuntu borking because of increasing snap reliance. Is any os safe anymore ?
