Another user switched to #XLibre: "Finally took the dive and just installed on my desktop running #VoidLinux a few hours ago. Love it so far! … #Xorg had some glitchy problem with my old GPU, which seems to be liberated now." More #LiberatedScreens at github.com/orgs/X11Libr...

The release of #GhostBSD 26.1 with #XLibre is approaching. Together, we fixed a bug in the X configuration. Now we're looking for testers of the latest ISO ci.ghostbsd.org/jenkins/job/... in VMware, KVM, and bhyve. Please report back at forums.ghostbsd.org/d/796-ghostb.... x.com/ghostbsdproj...

The YouTube channel "TheBlackDon" has been daily driving X11/XLibre on #CachyOS with #bspwm in 2026. He shared his experience regarding compatibility, screensharing, OBS plugins, absence of tearing, etc. at www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrir... . #XLibre #XingsDay

The YouTube channel "I use Devuan btw" has been testing #XLibre with the #Nvidia RTX 4060 using CUDA driver 590.48.01. He says, "It works great. OS is #devuan 6 excalibur with #openbox window manger. If your gpu supports version 570+ it'll work." #XingsDay www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbht...

There's an article on #XDA about staying with #X11 rather than using #Wayland for now. "Despite the shiny new tech, X11 seems to be a more reliable option due to its compatibility with a variety of apps. It doesn’t break as often…" #XLibre #XingsDay www.xda-developers.com/reasons-linu...

At #FOSDEM 2026 there was a talk about "Separating the Wayland Compositor and Window Manager." While some of the #X11 facts are not entirely correct, we welcome the idea from a technical standpoint. ;-) #XLibre #XingsDay fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

We are currently working closely with the ghostbsd.org maintainers to fix the remaining minor bugs and get their 26.01 release out. The newest #GhostBSD testing ISO is available at ci.ghostbsd.org/jenkins/job/...

Another Friday, another happy user: "XLibre working great and stable on #MXLinux 25.1 with KDE. Getting +170 FPS on Dota 2 also." Showing the #XLibre Xserver 1.25.1.1, #Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, and #KDE Plasma 6.3.6. More #LiberatedScreens at github.com/orgs/X11Libr...

ostechnix.com reports: GhostBSD is going to abandon Xorg after 15 years. Eric Turgeon explains why #GhostBSD switched from #Xorg to #XLibre instead of #Wayland. Full details here: ostechnix.com/ghostbsd-swi...

#Xfce will keep #X11 compatibility for the foreseeable future besides their work on their Xfwl4 #Wayland compositor. That's stated at wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayla... and still holds true as verified with some Xfce developers. We're happy to provide an X11 server to run Xfce on. #XLibre

We released the third beta version 25.1.2 of our #XLibre Xserver 25.1 series with some minor bug fixes. You can find it at github.com/X11Libre/xse...

We welcome our new #XLibre users! When sharing his screenshot with us, this one commented: "Finally liberated my computer after last move from the X.org." More #LiberatedScreens at github.com/orgs/X11Libr...

The #Vendefoul Wolf #Linux maintainers recently introduced their #Viriato series based on #Devuan 7 Freia. They ship both #XLibre and #Xorg as well as the #KDE and #SonicDE desktop environments. You can download the testing ISO at vendefoul-wolf-linux.sourceforge.io . Look for "Devuan 7".

The #XLibre Xserver 25.1.1 and the 25.0.x drivers are now available on the latest #Vipnix LiveCD. It also ships with the #Nvidia beta driver 590.44.01, supports RTX 5080 GPUs, and has been thoroughly tested on RTX 3070 cards. Please see the announcement at x.com/coffnix/stat...

The @openmandriva.org.web.brid.gy devs are demoing their distribution with #XLibre at #FOSDEM in Brussels. They brought an #AMD BC250, a #GPD MicroPC 2 UMPC, a #Radxa Orion O6 #ARMv9 SBC, and a #Steam Deck, all running XLibre on #OpenMandriva Cooker. Meet them at booth H4. x.com/berolinux/st...

Anders Rytter Hansen @anders.theres.life.ap.brid.gy managed to get #XLibre and #XFCE running on #AlmaLinux 10.1 by compiling from source. He says, "[N]ow I can enjoy the performance and compatibility benefits of XLibre on a stable enterprise-grade distribution." bsky.app/profile/ande...

#SonicDE reported on Jan 25 that a joint announcement with #KDE didn't happen because @kde.org became unresponsive. To cheer up @sonicdesktop.bsky.social a bit, you may like and follow them. To cheer you up, new #XLibre features may be integrated into SonicDE. ;-) bsky.app/profile/soni...

The developers of @sonicdesktop.bsky.social forked the #X11 related components of #KDE and are already improving them. There are #SonicDE packages in #ArtixLinux, in the AUR aur.archlinux.org/packages/son..., and co-hosted at x11libre.net/repo/arch_ba.... #XLibre #XingsDay bsky.app/profile/soni...

There's no value in holding back features. There's no merit in canceling contributors. There's no progress in removing commits. There's no freedom in forced obsolescence. We forked #Xorg to clean up the code, fix bugs, add new features, and release it. We bring #X11 forward. #XLibre

We've started prototyping high dynamic range (#HDR) rendering in #XLibre. The first proof of concept will be playing a video in an HDR mode in mpv. Please see the discussion at github.com/orgs/X11Libr... for more.
