Sam Bent, 8 months ago (at this time), covered XLibre, which is essentially a fork of XOrg that wants to clean up the codebase, modernize it, and fix the security holes that lasted for years on XOrg.
Meetux, the developer, became persona-non-Grata in FreeDesktop, IBM, RedHat, and possible GNOME circles, simply because he wanted to fix Xorg so people have an option on what they want to use.
It’s also why I won’t kowtow to IBM, GNOME, and FDO’s demands, due to technical merit being moot.
Can you explain which specific improvements XLibre has implemented that X doesn’t have?
Why should I use one guy’s pet project over the original that’s maintained by a much bigger group for over 20 years?
Basically, take Xorg, improve security and usability, but don’t go the Wayland route and break almost everything that requires certain permissions.
