Today we released the #XLibre Xserver version 25.0.0.14 containing #security fixes for CVE-2025-62229, CVE-2025-62230, and CVE-2025-62231. The fixes were backported from the X.Org X server. We recommend everyone update as soon as possible. #CVE

We forked the X.Org Server in June 2025.

#Grokipedia states this fact in its X.Org Server article.

#Wikipedia completely removed #XLibre from its X.Org Server article—after someone removed the political bias.

#XLibre runs on #KDE neon. It doesn't care for "Packages to avoid installing." It doesn't discriminate against who's using it. Available for everyone through the third-party packages at github.com/xlibre-deb/u....

For the Love of #FOSS!

The fsf.org recently turned 40, and there is so much good in the FOSS world despite some name-callers. Why not share the love and create a "Thank you!" post in the bug tracker or forum of your¹ most beloved project?

Today is a good day. #XLibre

We'd like to round out our XLIBRE ON ARCH LINUX WEEK with a few user-contributed #LiberatedScreens. Thank you for your interest and feedback. We've taken on a few small tasks and will keep the third-party #XLibre packages for #ArchLinux up to date.

And last but not least, #XLibre runs on #ArchCraft btw. You can use the x86_64 binary packages from x11libre.net/repo/arch_ba... or the AUR PKGBUILDs from aur.archlinux.org/packages/xli.... We've tested both ways and they work just like on #ArchLinux. #XLibreArchWeek
October 18, 2025 at 10:00 PM
#XLibre runs on #SteamOS btw. You can use a third-party shell script to install XLibre on a Steam Deck provided at github.com/HaplessIdiot.... The script enables XLibre for displaying SDR content and native Gamescope Wayland/XWayland for HDR content. #ArchLinux #XLibreArchWeek

#XLibre runs on #ArchLinux btw. Some of you guessed it; others have known for a while. We've created third-party PKGBUILDs, teamed up with another AUR maintainer, and now provide x86_64 binaries. We never talked about it; now we will.

WELCOME TO THE XLIBRE ON ARCH LINUX WEEK!

The recommended way to install #XLibre on x86_64 #ArchLinux is using the binary packages repository created and maintained by one of our team members. Please see the README at x11libre.net/repo/arch_ba... for how to use them. A big thank you to github.com/artist4xlibre! #XLibreArchWeek
