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

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

You can use the Arch User Repository (AUR) to install #XLibre on #ArchLinux as well. vitaliikuzhdin created PKGBUILDs at the end of June and co-maintains them with artist4xlibre. Please see the pinned comment aur.archlinux.org/packages/xli... . A big thank you both! #XLibreArchWeek

According to vaxry x.com/vaxryy, switching from #Hyprland to #bspwm might be a crime x.com/hyprwm/statu... :-). As seen below, one could also switch to something less criminal on #XLibre like #awesomewm. Or #dwm. Or ... ;-)
