We look forward to further progress with #XLibre this year. One of our resolutions is to involve the community more closely with joint efforts to, e.g., clean up the code base. If you've always wanted to contribute to #FOSS, that could be your chance. Specific announcements will follow.

The recently released #CDE 2.5.3 runs on #XLibre.

That may bring back some memories of good times, tears shed, or other sentiments… Yes, we are almost at the end of 2025, and CDE is still working.

The @artixlinux.org devs were among the first ones to package #XLibre besides @openmandriva.org.web.brid.gy and the support announcement of devuan.org. Artix and Devuan have at least one thing in common: Init Freedom www.devuan.org/os/init-free.... This we like to celebrate, and say thank you Artix!
November 24, 2025 at 1:30 PM
#ArtixLinux is based on #ArchLinux with the alternative init systems #dinit, #runit, #OpenRC, and #s6. It provides you the @DevuanOrg-pioneered Init Freedom on Arch btw. and therefore complements Arch's systemd approach.

WELCOME TO THE XLIBRE ON ARTIX LINUX WEEK!
