X11 has been, and still is, a vital piece of technology at the core of professional Unix-like workstations since decades. It has a proven track record of supporting enterprise-grade applications with long-term protocol stability and platform compatibility. It has matured over decades. XLibre is an actively developed fork of the X.Org X11 server, initiated by the most active X.Org developer and supported by the open source community.
An incompatible alternative, Wayland, is being aggressively pushed by IBM = Red Hat = Gnome = Fedora = freedesktop.org. However, it is not ready to succeed X11 as it its governance model leads to never-ending discussions and prevents even the most essential functionality from existing. Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!
It is time that the open source community reclaims what was ours to begin with. This page lists distributions supporting XLibre so that you can make an informed choice.

Wow, talk about spinning things out of context. How typical...
I never said to take them down directly. I said let Alpine hang itself by letting them continue to act belligerent towards anyone who would suggest adding Xlibre and eventually they'd get reported to GitLab because of GitLab's TOS. Geez... read the post, not skim the post... I'd also never DDOS, DOX, or any other bullshit like that. I don't even know how to go about doing any of that, plus that extremely illegal if I even could figure it out. If anyone is going to get in trouble, I let them get themselves in trouble while I do nothing but sit back and watch. I let the laws of inevitability and hubris deal with fools on their pace.
I did argue against systemd adoption when it was new on the scene. It wasn't tested. It was pushed on distributions haphazardly out of laziness to properly writing shell scripts for bash. That was ten years ago. Things have changed in ten years. I no longer use Slackware for obvious reasons. They're openly hostile to a lot of ideas, moreso than I.
Hell, these days I use ArchLinux which has systemd. Ten years has proven systemd as reasonably good software finally. Do I regret not being for it back then? No. As I said, it was too new and was a cop out for lazy maintainers at the time. 10 years later, it's a different story. You could argue the case for wayland, but wayland and it's discombobulated cluster of compositors and broken protocols after ten years has not made the same progress as systemd. Not by a long shot.
This badgering is why I left Slackware and why many of these kinds of people there can kiss by ass. All they do is muckrake like a bunch of holier-than-thous when honestly, their all nothing special. I asked about how to incorporate and use ZFS once as the rootfs, and instead of a reasonable answer like "Oh! Here's steps 1~X to incorporate ZFS", I got "you're an idiot", "you're against GPL", "you're against Linux", I think even a Greta Thunberg wannabe even did a "How dare you?!", etc. and it never stopped until I unsubscribed the thread and an admin supposedly locked it at my request.
Yes, I did share the news of Xlibre to Slackware's -Current branch updated package post list. And immediately, I got lambasted by the same people as always including him. The holier-than-thous. So honestly, if this is what they want to be like, then their loss. They were a good community until they showed their true colors.
Let me give you an insight on the person who wrote that hit piece, he's a nutjob of the worst kind. A fanatic. He attacked me in two separate threads for the same thing and was then spinning some tale about how I was two accounts, when honestly, I don't keep secondary accounts for ban avoiding, vote tampering, or self promotion. I don't see the need for that. I have ASD and ADHD and I have no ability in my head to make two accounts for that type of performance. In my head, I'm one person. Me. I don't hide behind alternate accounts. Why else would I use the same ID name across the entire Internet?
