The YouTube channel "TheBlackDon" has been daily driving X11/XLibre on #CachyOS with #bspwm in 2026. He shared his experience regarding compatibility, screensharing, OBS plugins, absence of tearing, etc. at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrirCxiN458 .
The YouTube channel "I use Devuan btw" has been testing XLibre with the #Nvidia RTX 4060 using CUDA driver 590.48.01. He says, "It works great. OS is #devuan 6 excalibur with #openbox window manger. If your gpu supports version 570+ it'll work." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbhtNWhtp1A
There's an article on #XDA about staying with #X11 rather than using #Wayland for now.
"Despite the shiny new tech, X11 seems to be a more reliable option due to its compatibility with a variety of apps. It doesn’t break as often…" https://www.xda-developers.com/reasons-linux-users-would-stick-with-x11
At #FOSDEM 2026 there was a talk about "Separating the Wayland Compositor and Window Manager." While some of the #X11 facts are not entirely correct, we welcome the idea from a technical standpoint. ;-) https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/GR8BFE-separating_the_wayland_compositor_and_window_manager
The developers of @sonicdesktop forked the #X11-related core components of #KDE and are already improving them. There are #SonicDE packages in #ArtixLinux, in the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sonicde-meta, and co-hosted at https://x11libre.net/repo/arch_based/x86_64/. #XLibre #XingsDay
