xlibre
Right I'm not interested in starting a flame war but I am interested to see how many folk in 2026 use #Wayland or #Wayback and how many use #X11 or even #Xlibre . Feel free if you wish to say what OS/Distribution you use and which window manager or desktop environment below. #Linux #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD
Please boost and thanks in advance.

Looks like the maintainers of xlibre packages in the FreeBSD 15.0 did a great work 
I was able to switch from Xorg to XLibre with just two commands and without any issues, lol

Worth to mention, that any of my tricks described in the previous blogpost (https://eugene-andrienko.com/it/2025/07/24/x11-configuration-simple.html) are working too without any problems.

GhostBSD is going to abandon Xorg after 15 years. Eric Turgeon explains why GhostBSD switched from Xorg to XLibre instead of Wayland.

Maybe I should switch to GhostBSD 🤔

This post from the founder of #GhostBSD is about more than #XLibre replacing Xorg. Eric Turgeon is also writing about what the project needs to do to survive, and the problems with fatigue, as well as the lack of development from MATE and his thoughts/reluctance about needing to code in Objective C for the Gershwin DE, which could be the future environment for the project.
tl;dr: More people are needed to keep the project alive
