<h1 id="xlibre-xserver">XLibre Xserver</h1>
|
||
<p><strong>XLibre</strong> is a major fork of the <a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver">Xorg
|
||
Xserver</a>, created to push forward X server technology through extensive code cleanups, architectural
|
||
improvements, and enhanced functionality. This project was born out of the need to maintain active development and
|
||
innovation in the X server ecosystem, ensuring this critical infrastructure continues evolving to meet modern
|
||
computing demands.</p>
|
||
<hr>
|
||
<h2 id="project-background">Project Background</h2>
|
||
<p>The decision to fork from the original Xorg project was driven by a lack of progress and institutional barriers
|
||
that were limiting meaningful contributions. After journalists began covering the planned XLibre fork on
|
||
<strong>June 6th, 2025</strong>, the founder's account and infrastructure on freedesktop.org were abruptly
|
||
removed — including repositories, merge requests, and issue trackers. This forced the project to relocate
|
||
development elsewhere, reaffirming the importance of decentralized infrastructure and open collaboration.</p>
|
||
<p>This project preserves and builds upon prior work by contributors such as <a
|
||
href="https://github.com/metux">@Metux</a>, whose contributions were later removed from the original upstream.
|
||

||
<h2 id="project-philosophy">Project Philosophy</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Independence:</strong> XLibre is a fully independent project, free from corporate control, political
|
||
organizations, and institutional sponsorship.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Technical Merit:</strong> Development is driven by quality, security, and real-world needs, not by
|
||
marketing trends or centralized agendas.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Transparency:</strong> All decisions and technical discussions are public and community-driven.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Focus:</strong> Our goal is to build a modern, secure, performant, and maintainable X server for the
|
||
UNIX ecosystem.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<hr>
|
||
<h2 id="inclusive-and-community-driven">Inclusive and Community-Driven</h2>
|
||
<p>We believe that good technology must be built by inclusive communities.</p>
|
||
<p>XLibre welcomes contributors from all backgrounds — regardless of nationality, race, gender, age, political
|
||
views, or lived experience. We explicitly welcome those who are <strong>neurodivergent</strong> (e.g. autistic,
|
||
ADHD, etc.) and understand that inclusion means more than just allowing access — it means <strong>providing equity
|
||
of opportunity</strong>, recognizing that some contributors face unique barriers in open source spaces.</p>
|
||
<p>As long as you treat others with respect, you are welcome here. Whether you’re a seasoned systems developer or a
|
||
small furry creature from Alpha Centauri — you belong.</p>
|
||
<p>This is a project where everyone deserves a fair chance to learn, contribute, and improve X11 together.</p>
|
||
<hr>
|
||
<h2 id="technical-vision">Technical Vision</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Modernization:</strong> Improve the Xorg architecture while preserving compatibility with existing X11
|
||
clients.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Performance:</strong> Optimize rendering, reduce latency, and improve throughput across diverse
|
||
hardware.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Security:</strong> Apply modern hardening practices, improve privilege separation, and reduce attack
|
||
surface.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Code Quality:</strong> Clean up legacy code and reduce technical debt accumulated over decades.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Portability:</strong> Maintain support for UNIX-like systems (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, GNU/Linux,
|
||
Illumos), and compatibility layers such as Cygwin for Windows.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Stability:</strong> Continuous testing and validation to ensure long-term reliability.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|

|
||
<p>Together, let’s make X great again — by modernizing it, decentralizing it, and making it for <strong>everyone who
|
||
wants to build</strong>.</p>
