A wonderful development as Linux fights to to extract itself from the duplicitous manipulations of Red Hat (IBM) and other megacorps in the space who have been trying to kill X.Org and force everyone to their Wayland. It appears Wayland might be getting forced as the new replacement to better interface with AI, which if you look at Microsoft’s Recall<\/a> and other AI platforms, seems to be about surveillance. Also, see my previous post<\/a> about AI for an even darker possibility. With XLibre, those who care will have an alternative to the one being forced on us by the OCGFC megacorps in free software and opensource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XLibre Xserver, a fresh fork of Xorg to revive X11, launches version 25.0 just two weeks after its inception, bringing new life to the X11 ecosystem.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

On the summer solstice\u2014the longest day of the year\u2014Enrico Weigelt unveiled Xlibre 25.0, a fresh fork of the aging Xorg X server. The fork aims to revitalize the decades-old display server with much-needed updates, security fixes, and a more open development philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case you missed it, this new project<\/a> stirred up quite a bit of buzz and sparked heated debates in the open-source community. It emerged as a direct response to what contributors describe as stagnation and resistance to change within the official Xorg project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Weigelt, the decision to fork came after months of frustration with the Xorg maintainers\u2014primarily associated with IBM\/Red Hat\u2014who allegedly blocked substantial contributions and new features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf Xorg wants to die, so be it. But Xlibre will live on,\u201d<\/em> Weigelt stated bluntly in the release announcement. The situation escalated when his work was abruptly removed from freedesktop.org, a move he attributes to corporate influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, rather than continuing to fight an uphill battle, the Xlibre team opted for a clean break, incorporating years of backlogged fixes and enhancements in one sweeping release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
