I prefer using XFCE, which, despite their team's work, doesn't fully support Wayland yet. Whether it remains compatible with XLibre going forward is unclear, but it seems like XLibre will be the place for new X11 features and fixes.
- em-bee 1y agoyes, well, maybe. for sure Xorg at this point is not the place for new features. but perhaps, if Xlibre does become sufficiently popular, new features will be ported back. the ideal outcome would be for Xlibre to become a testing ground for new ideas, where the good ones make it back into Xorg. but the planned obsolescence creates a conflict of interest for Xorg developers, and i suspect that new features will only be accepted reluctantly just to prevent Xlibre from gaining ground. however, there is another potential outcome, in that the development of wayland focuses more on solving problems that prevent people from switching to it. now that would be a real win.
