Greetings,
So far, I've upgraded one of my laptops. I've been using XFCe and prefer to use
it.
On finishing the upgrade and getting the login screen, only Gnome and Gnome
Classic are offered.
Checking for installed rpms, xfce rpms have been upgraded. How can I continue
using XFCe?
See:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/gnome-login-screen-no-longer-supports-x-org-sessions/148589
basically you are using gdm (The gnome display manager) and X11 support
was disabled there, so it won't see Xfce sessions.
They are going to re-enable it for f42, see this test update:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-36e1759b84
which you could just test or wait for...
Or you could switch to lightdm:
dnf install lightdm-gtk
sudo systemctl enable lightdm --force
and reboot.

And if lightdm does not work, switch to lxdm. (I have
three computers where lightdm works perfectly and one
that it does not.)
