XLibre a new fork of XOrg by the lead contributor of XOrg

This might come as welcome news to many Linux users myself included as I switched to XOrg as I found Wayland to unstable on Zorin 17 with my system. I eagerly await further news on this subject.

Shame there is no other source of info other than 'X'. I don't do Social media of any sort. Looks like it has been under development for some time:

I don't do X/Twitter either, you can absolutely view this post with a PC without an account, I just rechecked this.

Clearly an indication that the big boys are trying to force the inferior Wayland long before it is ready. And as usual Red Hat are the demons of GNU/Linux. It is the same tactics all over again, pushing all distributions to adopt the bloatware of systemd and the inferior audio engine, pulse audio over the far superior ALSA.

Finally a reference to X11/xorg's importance when it comes to accessibility, something which Wayland ignores.
