# X11Libre X Server — A Modern, Inclusive X11 Fork
Xlibre is a fork of the [Xorg Xserver](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver)
with lots of code cleanups and enhanced functionality aimed at modernization
of the X11 xserver and system with focuses on security, performance,
and cleaner code.
Xlibre is a fork of the [Xorg Xserver](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver),
with major code cleanups and enhanced functionality aimed at
modernizing the X11 server with a focus on **security**,
**performance**, and **maintainability**.
This fork was necessary since problematic elements within Xorg projects
like big corporation are preventing any substantial work on Xorg.
This fork was created because problematic elements within the Xorg project,
including influence from large corporations, were blocking substantial progress.
After journalists began covering the planned Xlibre fork on June 6th, 2025,
freedesktop.org administrators banned the Xlibre founder’s GitLab account,
which led to the deletion of repositories, tickets, and merge requests.
Xorg has also removed prior work and contributions from [@Metux](https://github.com/metux).
Right after journalists first began covering the planned fork Xlibre,
on June 6th 2025, Freedesktop members that were also Red Hat employee
started banning the Xlibre founder's GitLab account on freedesktop.org:
which cuasing the git repo to be deleted and also xorg have remove
any changes and activity made by Metux and this have made reat
publicity for XLibre by making this news loud.
This is an entirely **independent project**, contributed to and maintained
by a community of independent developers — anyone who wants to modernize,
clean up, document, test, and advance X11 as the primary graphics and
rendering system for UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems such as:
**FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, GNU/Linux, Illumos**, and even non-UNIX
platforms like **Windows (via Cygwin)**.
This is an entirely independent project, contributed and maintained by
the community at large of independent developers and anyone wishing to
help modernize, cleanup, document, test, and advance X11 as the primary
rendering, drawing, and graphics system of UNIX and UNIX-like operating
systems and environments such as FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, GNU/Linux,
Illumos, etc. as well as non-UNIX/UNIX-like platforms such as Windows
(Cygwin).
X11 has served as the backbone of many desktop environments since its
initial release in **1984** (as X1), including **Xfce, MATE, Trinity,
Blackbox, CDE, Lumina**, and many others.
