But my VNC sessions and stuff
And also of course icewm and idk i3 all of the X11 stuff
And also People Playground has weird issues if I try playing it windowed through Proton for some reason
X should not be fully dropped
Wayland is great
Xlibre looks like garbage

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.

In #Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka, support for #GNOME on #Xorg was dropped. If you like to stay with an #X11 desktop, you may, e.g., have a look at the choices at github.com/X11Libre/xse... , stick to 24.04 LTS or switch to a non-GNOME flavor ubuntu.com/desktop/flav... . #XLibre

Feliz de usar Debian em vários servidores e Ubuntu no PC.
E que esse XLibre e seu mantenedor vão pro inferno.

![Postado por Lunduke Journal no Twitter
Os desenvolvedores do Debian declaram que o XLibre (o fork de código aberto do Xorg) é administrado por "nazistas" que "teriam enviado [alguém] para um acampamento, se tivessem a oportunidade".
Não estou disposto a deixar o Debian se tornar um bar nazista.
Essa postura é reforçada por vários desenvolvedores do Debian, a partir de endereços de e-mail oficiais "Debian.org".
Espero que nenhum [Debian Developer] faça upload/patrocine qualquer trabalho desse cara.
Apenas um desenvolvedor Debian fez qualquer declaração do outro ponto de vista, dizendo:
Excluir o software por causa da política dos desenvolvedores é extremamente perigoso e contrário ao espírito das [Diretrizes do Software Livre do Debian].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j4i2tyqx6r5nth36h3q5q77y/bafkreiarg6wzemlkzonfpn5w3qoggwccjwvj3rdursyepr2rmvureajkrq@jpeg)

After testing all the @xlibredev.bsky.social options available i have settled on the @artixlinux.bsky.social xfce s6 init pre made xlibre iso
I like my applications to work and not only does wayland not work with some of them but it also removes options in OBS and replaces them with broken options
