Thread 105627549

bro? which distro are we hoppin to? openmandriva?

>>105627910
OpenBSD will probably switch to XLibre. So I don't have to actually DO anything at all.

>>105628020
>OpenBSD will probably switch to XLibre
Unlikely

>>105628168
Wait and see.

>>105628249
I would give Free/Net a try if they switched.

>>105628488
Same. Been wanted to get on a BSD distro.

>>105628249
please don't shrink pepe anymore. he is my comfort meme

you will use nothing :-)

>>105627549 (OP)
I'm already using it

>>105627910
openmandriva, artix, I think gentoo has an ebuild somewhere too

>>105630390
Are you on the Nvidia proprietary drivers or nouveau?

>>105630566
proprietary
you need to add a conf file to xorg for it to work and that's pretty much it

>>105630390
>>105630577
best anon on this board

>>105630805
I'm really not, but thanks kek
also I forgot to add but with xlibre currently display managers (tested with lightdm and sddm) do not work. not an Nvidia issue because that also happens on my Intel and AMD machines. best thing to do at the moment is to disable your display manager, login via TTY at boot, and run your DE/WM manually (startxfce4 in my case)
doesn't bother me that much since it adds like, 10 seconds when I boot my machines, which I don't do that often anyway (I restart my laptops every 2 weeks and my desktop every day, the rest of my machines [gaming laptop and mini PC connected to my TV) I boot more rarely in the first place). once on the DE/WM everything works fine

>>105630390
how do you get bitmap fonts to display in a web browser

>>105631547
it's part of my 4chanx css. didn't do anything special outside of that

>>105627549 (OP)
I really hope the project succeeds, but I have a bad feeling it's going to turn out like other protestware forks.

>>105630828
late and not them but i think i installed xlibre correctly from the goblins repo and don't have to do that TTY stuff it just boots to the regular login screen on my amd asus tuf a16 laptop

>>105631742
my 2 AMD machines also have that issue so I don't think it's Nvidia-related at all. I'm using the kernel driver on them, not the xf86 one, so that might be the reason
I'm gonna update my T480 (which uses xf86-video-intel) now and see if that issue is there on it. if it works I might just switch to xf86-video-amdgpu on the AMD machines. give me a few mins

>>105631742
>>105631774
nope, with xlibre-xf86-video-intel I can't even access the TTY to login at all kek. the machine completely locks up. after disabling lightdm xfce refuses to launch at all

Good luck.

>>105631917
damn that's bad

>>105631950
I managed to boot by setting the driver to modesetting in my xorg.conf.d
weirdly enough now lightdm is working on that machine kek

>>105631950
>>105631966
yeah okay I change my lightdm conf file to restore it and I think I found what's breaking. in the conf I'm calling for setxkbmap to set my keyboard layout and it doesn't seem to like it under xlibre for whatever reason

>>105631966
>>105632019
well that's strange also i checked my machine again and installed xlibre-xf86-video-amdgpu and it seems fine and works after rebooting

>>105631966
>editing Xorg.conf
>in the current year of our Lord 1993+32
What other weird kinks do you have?

>>105632042
probably just Intel-related, my other non-Intel machines don't completely freeze on boot at least. tried xlibre-xf86-video-intel again without setxkbmap and it still completely freezes the machine on boot. I'm just gonna use modesetting for now, maybe keep it since it works fine on another laptop. I'll try if removing the setxkbmap call on my other machines lets me use lightdm again too
>>105632062
my T480 has a 20-intel.conf file in xorg.conf.d to force TearFree and force the xf86 Intel driver. my desktop has one for Nvidia to enable ForceFullPipelineComposition and a few other things. my other machines don't have anything in there

>>105627549 (OP)
qrd? I thought x.org sucked so everyone is moving to wayland? now we're moving back to x?

>>105632160
If I understand the situation correctly, xorg is being enshittified to force you to eat bugs (move to Wayland) and xlibre exists to fix that.

>>105632160
>now we're moving back to x?
No, anon. You left and we are here celebrating the shackles coming off.

>>105632160
whatever makes red hat get their panties in a twist is a good enough reason to use it

>>105632160
a lot of us never left X in the first place kek

>>105632160
Whenever there's progress, some choose to stay back and try to stick with what's obsolete.
Rumors say a few still haven't even switched to systemd!

>>105632246

dinit is comfy

>>105632246

Going backwards or in the wrong direction is also ``progress''.

>>105628168
Unlikely they'll use it directly. I can see their version of X tracking XLibre instead of Xorg now though.
