X11 et Wayland, la guerre des pixels

X11 et Wayland, la guerre des pixels

RE: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/115936315972605814
@evgandr the packages are not in FreeBSD, they are in the ports collection.
With regard to an organisation such as X11Libre, this is probably a very important distinction.
Also, please see my recent first impressions.
Anyone daily driving XLibre on FreeBSD in 2026?
/u/BigSneakyDuck asks – <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1qgcihy/x11libre_x11xlibre_on_freebsd_first_impressions/>:
"I intend to run a poll on Wayland vs X11 for FreeBSD desktop users …"
X11Libre: x11/xlibre on FreeBSD: first impressions

– inspired by a recent claim that "everything works" (better than X.Org) with X11Libre.
The experience with Oracle VirtualBox, and with QEMU (using Virtual Machine Manager), was quite different.
I tried to be fair. From my first comment:
"x11/xlibre is a very early version – 0.1 – I don't expect things to be smooth."
@ellenor2000 having been queer-bashed, I do have more than a few thoughts about things such as homophobia, prejudice, equality, equity, and DEI.
The four paragraphs below are from a mid-November post in Reddit, <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1o3yuwy/comment/np4ov69/>. GitHub discussions make things difficult to find, so I'm adding a screenshot to this toot.
"The offensive comment above https://github.com/orgs/X11Libre/discussions/211#discussioncomment-14919220 disappeared very soon after I used GitHub to report 'Hate Speech or Discrimination'.
In addition to the disappearance: other users' responses were suitably robust.
In the second of my screenshots there, Zotero, the folder name that's masked is:
― fuckwits"
I stumbled across this article while searching for informations about the future of some X11 window managers. probonopd created a good article about the differences between Wayland and X11 and the problems with Wayland (which perhaps could be fixed in the future)
Good to see that XLibre forked the X11 server so projects depending on X11 can go on further.

XLibre is a display server implementation of the X Window System Protocol Version 11 [...] It has been forked from the X.Org Server. [...]
The XLibre [...] strive to cleanup and strengthen the existing code base while maintaining backward compatibility [...] . We also take care of the improvements to the X.Org Server that have been unreleased for several years or were made to Xwayland only. [...]
