      <h2>about</h2>
      <p><strong>Xlibre</strong> is a fork of the Xorg Xserver with lots of
      code cleanups and enhanced functionality.</p>

      <p><strong>This</strong> fork was necessary since toxic elements within
      Xorg projects, moles from BigTech, are boycotting any substantial work on
      Xorg, in order to destroy the project, to eliminate competition of their
      own products. Classic "embrace, extend, extinguish" tactics.</p>

      <p><strong>Right</strong> after journalists first began covering the
      planned fork Xlibre, on June 6th 2025, Redhat employees started a purge
      on the Xlibre founder's GitLab account on freedesktop.org: deleted the
      git repo, tickets, merge requests, etc, and so fired the shot that the
      whole world heard.</p>

      <p><strong>This</strong> is an independent project, not at all affiliated
      with BigTech or any of their subsidiaries or tax evasion tools, nor any
      political activists groups, state actors, etc. It's explicitly free of
      any "DEI" or similar discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating
      others nicely is welcomed.</p>

      <p><strong>It doesn't</strong> matter which country you're coming from,
      your political views, your race, your sex, your age, your food menu,
      whether you wear boots or heels, whether you're furry or fairy, Conan or
      McKay, comic character, a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or
      just a boring average person. Anybody who's interested in bringing X
      forward is welcome.</p>

      <p><strong>Together we'll make X great again!</strong></p>

      <h2>download</h2>
      <p><strong>The Xlibre</strong> project is hosted on GitHub. You can find
      the source code and follow development
      <a href="https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver" target="_blank">there.</a></p>

      <p><strong>If</strong> you want to download the latest source snapshot as
      a compressed archive, a direct
      <a href="https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/archive/refs/heads/master.zip" target="_blank">zip</a>
      file is also available.</p>

      <p><strong>Precompiled</strong> binaries for Xlibre are <strong> already
      available</strong> for some distributions. The project is still in its
      early packaging phase and only some distributions offer it.</p>

      <p><strong>However</strong>, there are plans and ongoing efforts to
      integrate Xlibre into major Linux distributions. Here's the current
      status:</p>

      <ul>
      <li><strong>Ubuntu/Debian</strong>: No official packages or PPA
          available</li>
      <li><strong>Arch</strong>: The xlibre-server AUR package is known
	  to cause problems and is NOT supported. Instead these
	  <a href="https://github.com/X11Libre/pkgbuilds-arch-based">sources</a>
          should be used. Additionally, a
	  <a href="https://x11libre.net/repo/arch_based">binary repository</a>
	  has recently been added for easier installation.
      <li><strong>Artix</strong>: You can install a ready-to-use
          <a href="https://packages.artixlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=xlibre" target="_blank">package</a>
          from their galaxy-gremlins repository</li>
      <li><strong>Gentoo</strong>: An
	  <a href="https://github.com/X11Libre/ports-gentoo" target="_blank">overlay</a>
	  is available at Github</li>
      <li><strong>OpenMandriva</strong>: You can find the
	  <a href="https://abf.openmandriva.org/openmandriva/xlibre/build_lists#?page=1&per_page=25&ownership=everything" target="_blank">package</a>
          in the Cooker (development) repository</li>
      <li><strong>Youtube</strong>: DIY self compiling
	  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRzfHzZ6WDU" target="_blank">video</a>
	  is available at Youtube</li>
      </ul>

      <h2>faq</h2>
      <p><strong>Q:</strong> What is Xlibre?</p>
      <p><strong>A:</strong> Xlibre is a freshly created fork of the Xorg X11
      server, initiated by Enrico Weigelt, aiming to provide a more actively
      maintained and modernized alternative to the aging X11 system.</p>

      <p><strong>Q:</strong> Why was it forked?</p>
      <p><strong>A:</strong> Xorg has been stifled by “toxic elements” and
      “BigTech moles” blocking significant contributions. A classic “embrace,
      extend, extinguish” pattern. Xlibre is presented as a pushback to
      revitalize the codebase.</p>

      <p><strong>Q:</strong> Who’s behind Xlibre?</p>
      <p><strong>A:</strong> The fork is led by Enrico Weigelt, previously a
      prolific contributor to Xorg.</p>

      <p><strong>Q:</strong> What features or enhancements does Xlibre
      bring?</p>
      <p><strong>A:</strong> Code cleanups and modernization aimed at improved
      maintainability and performance. Support for Xnamespace (greater
      isolation) and updating nested Xnest to use libxcb.</p>

      <p><strong>Q:</strong> What about Nvidia compatibility?</p>
      <p><strong>A:</strong> We keep binary compatibility to proprietary Nvidia
      driver (Ver. 570 and newer).</p>
