@XLibreDev

Gotta love it when people don't like a project, so they censor and remove it from their repos.

It's like how Fedora removed hyprland from their repos, a piece of software people use gets removed because of the maintainers having a stick up their ass.

Xlibre for the win.

@XLibreDev For anyone who may concern the controversial content on https://x11libre.net/#about :
"This fork was necessary since toxic elements within Xorg projects, moles from BigTech, are boycotting any substantial work on Xorg, in order to destroy the project, to eliminate competition of their own products. Classic "embrace, extend, extinguish" tactics.

Right after journalists first began covering the planned fork Xlibre, on June 6th 2025, Redhat employees started a purge on the Xlibre founder's GitLab account on freedesktop.org: deleted the git repo, tickets, merge requests, etc, and so fired the shot that the whole world heard.

This is an independent project, not at all affiliated with BigTech or any of their subsidiaries or tax evasion tools, nor any political activists groups, state actors, etc. It's explicitly free of any "DEI" or similar discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating others nicely is welcomed.

It doesn't matter which country you're coming from, your political views, your race, your sex, your age, your food menu, whether you wear boots or heels, whether you're furry or fairy, Conan or McKay, comic character, a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or just a boring average person. Anybody who's interested in bringing X forward is welcome."

@XLibreDev
even Arch Wiki ?
wtf is going on here

What disrespect? Saying that Xorg is no longer maintained? Which is basically true.
And then, citing a rule without any reference or justification, that really does seem like an arbitrary decision.

@XLibreDev I jumped from Arch to Artix a while back.

@XLibreDev Most uncool.

Also better not update arch-wiki-docs package then. There Xlibre page seems intact.
