# X11Libre X Server — A Modern, Inclusive X11 Fork
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**.

major code cleanups and enhanced functionality aimed at modernizing the X11 server
with a focus on **security**, **performance**, and **maintainability**.
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).

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)**.

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.

We believe in equity of opportunity, openness, and community. It doesn’t matter
what country you’re from, what your political views are, your race, gender,
age, dietary habits, fashion style, whether you’re furry, fairy, Conan, McKay,
a comic character, a neurodivergent contributor, or a small furry creature from
Alpha Centauri — **you are welcome here**.As long as you treat others with respect,
you belong.This is a truly inclusive, community-led project where everyone gets
a fair opportunity to contribute and grow.
