I swear to god, this fucking clique that's controlling the linux ecosystem currently is making more to help revitalizing the BSD userbase than anything else in IT history. Linux is literally becoming nu-windows/microsoft and bsd projects nu-linux.

The Linux world is abuzz with news of XLibre, a
>fork of the venerable X11 window display system,
which aims to be an alternative to X11's successor, Wayland.
>IT DOES NOT REQUIRE SYSTEMD AT ALL, zero dependency
Much of the Linux world is working to adopt Wayland, the successor to X11. Wayland has been touted as being a superior option, providing better security and performance. Despite Fedora and Ubuntu both going Wayland-only,
>the newer display protocol still lags behind X11, in terms of functionality,
especially in the realm of accessibility, screen recording, session restore, and more. In addition, despite the promise of improved performance, many users report performance regressions compared to X11.
While progress is being made, it has been slow going, especially for a project that is more than 17 years old. To make matters worse, Wayland is largely being improved by committee, with the various desktop environment teams trying to work together to further the protocol.
Progress is further hampered by the fact that the GNOME developers often object to the implementation of some functionality that doesn't fit with their vision of what a desktop should be — despite those features being present and needed in every other environment.
In response, developer Enrico Weigelt has forked Xll into the XLibre project. Weigelt was already one of the most prolific X11 contributors at a time when little to no improvements or new features are being added to the aging window system...
Weigelt has wasted no time releasing the inaugural version of XLibre, XLibre 25.0. The release includes a slew of improvements.
