Fedora Depreciates X11. Need Alternative for X11 Display Issue.

[beyChill]

I'm new to SeleniumBase. In troubleshooting the 'X11 display failed error', I found a Fedora blog addressing X11 depreciation.

Looking to eliminate the double printing of the X11 error, that does not include installing X11 packages.

Should the X11 error be a logging level vs a print statement? Perhaps the X11 can be an info level since SeleniumBase auto switches to an available resource.

For the X11 display failed!, that's a duplicate of #3060 and #2982.

Check the following to find out if your Linux distribution is missing X11 display dependencies:

The X11 dependencies are important on Linux. Without them, the PyAutoGUI methods won't work at all, and that means that CDP Mode probably won't work either.

I don't understand. I disagree with duplication of #3060 and #2982. X11 is depreciated in Fedora. It sounds like the recommendation is to basically downgrade Fedora to eliminate X11 messages from SeleniumBase. I haven't seen any PyAutoGUI issues, however I am not doing anything exciting.

Something is replacing X11, even if it's not X11, but the successor to X11.
Regardless, the special virtual display didn't start because "DISPLAY" was not in os.environ.keys()

Ok, I believe I better understand what is happening.

BTW... thanks for the great product and the informative youtube videos.
