Unfortunate that this page largely shills XLibre, the X fork by the guy who got ejected from contributing to Xorg when he landed a bunch of code that was blatantly untested, leading to tons of his commits getting reverted. Like, I am not a fan of Wayland, still using X on my machine, but from what I've seen of his posting, this guy isn't great PR for the "X is fine actually" camp.

Came here to say this. >What We're Losing >1987-2024: X11 Evolution >37 years of continuous development, bug fixes, and feature additions. Stable, predictable, and extensively documented. The XLibre project continues this legacy with active community development. This is a very charitable interpretation of the situation, and to suggest XLibre, which got forked 2 months ago, is the future is insane. Would be a different story if XLibre had been around a few years but 2 months is very young..

Yeah once i saw XLibre I decided this was a joke, then it became apparent everything after the first section is AI i stopped reading entirely. Wayback is the more promising project, if you can run an X11 display manager on Wayland you can still do XRDP and SSH, is my understanding. Those are the two features i really depend on
