Maybe we should consider moving liberated screens elsewhere which doesn't have crippling performance issues? 😅 |

I was playing with SonicDE (KDE XLibre) for a bit but went back to my OG Crib, XFCE4. 😎 Artix Linux OpenRC with XFCE4. Color Scheme: Flexoki Dark NOTE: It would be cool if the Windowing System information said XLibre instead of X11, kind of a holey underwear moment 😅 but yes this is indeed running XLibre and not legacy X11!

openbox does the same thing and on fastfetch too. terminal command "Xorg -version" is more honest. |
In that case, here's a slight variation of the above screenshot: I wasn't feeling like running the command in the terminal the first time! 🙃

That's strange cuz mine is shown as XLibre here https://github.com/orgs/X11Libre/discussions/492#discussioncomment-16559224 |

you play minecaft 1.8 ? do you dislike the 1.9 combats ? me i do not mind it lol. |
|
I don't dislike 1.9 combat, actually. I play 1.9+ quite often, but I prefer the more fast-paced 1.8 combat. |
|
I played before hunger and usually do |

wow, me i started at 1.4.7 cracked in school in a long time ago, then lce then mcpe (bedrock) then java and lce :) |

I really like your setup. Would be good to put it in some github gist, cuz here, in replies, it displays kinda weird |
I do have a place, but it requires you use an Likely easier, and certainly more useful to others to take the "github gist" route. :-D |
|
Seems like a hard way huh |
|
I'll dump the stuff on one of my codeberg repos and place a link here. I'll try to do that tomorrow. |
|
This did not take as long as I thought. Everything I could think of is included. Hopefully you'll be able to sort through things and make them work for you... My wallpaper backgrounds all come from: Enjoy. |

Xlibre running on Radxa Dragon Q6A (Qualcomm QCS6490) out of the box using https://github.com/xlibre-debian/debian with provided armbian image: 
note: Modifier: DRM_FORMAT_MOD_QCOM_COMPRESSED (0x500000000000001) - means XLibre using optimal texture format for framebuffer |
My kde rice for school, I intend to swap to sonicde at some point but it's pretty solid right now.

What's this aswsome icon pack? |

@tgasklit they're from BeOS/Haiku. Pretty nice operating system with an interesting history. |

It's similar to my previous screenshots of NVidia drivers (versions 340, 390, 470) on Slackware, just NVidia 580.159.03 (the latest of 580s) on GTX 750 (Maxwell): 
But this marks kind of a milestone: with recent PRs to xserver the entire NVidia legacy drivers line works now with XLibre out of the box (just set install folders for drivers and modules to |

FreeBSD 15.0, modesetting driver. High ram usage (2gb) on fastfetch is probably Firefox on the other screen. |
We're doing this again because i got a new monitor. i didn't want to throw away my 5:4 display since it refused to die, but i had plans that required multiple video inputs. it still kinda hurts a bit.

awesome touhou wallapaper ! |

My local AI workstation that is more and more becoming my main PC as well. While I am not the first one rocking CDE, it is not normal how snappy this is on a modern, fast PC. Everything happens instantly while not sacrificing any usability. CDE is peak.

I just found out about XLibre and though to give it a try. |

Devuan 6 / LXQT

Working nicely on the Unity Desktop! |
|
Running XLibre 25.1.5 on FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE with Nvidia GT 430 using the 390 driver!
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 Note: On Arch Linux, XLibre worked incorrectly with the NVIDIA 390 driver on the same GPU (screen resolution/display issues). |
|
Please, what is that serif font youre using ?? |
@dcn-new, that's the Luxi fonts. System-wide — Ubuntu + Luxi Sans, Terminal — Luxi Mono, i3bar — Ubuntu |
|
Here's Gentoo (converted from Calculate) on a RTX 2060 using Nouveau, with Enlightenment DR16 working just as well as I expected. |
My Framework laptop is now also liberated. CDE was not feasible on this one, it is not suitable for small screens, but MATE works fine.
This is my second notebook I named "Sumomo", the first one being the one I had at uni back in the day when Chobits was new, and it served me very well. The original Sumomo ran GNOME 2 on Debian, so it fits its legacy. |
XLibre turns 1 today. That’s a great reason for us to celebrate. Thank you all so much for your contributions and for choosing XLibre! |
|
Thank you for keeping X11 alive. There are many reasons why one would favour X11 over Wayland and with XLibre this path stays open. I am now using it on three machines, one with a 175Hz OLED monitor, with XOrg I had to put some extra effort in it, but with XLibre, it immediately worked out of the box. |
|
yes, i also thank you to make x11 reliable again ! my xlibre is way more stable than wayland on my laptop with nvidia. thank you metux and the whole xlibre dev team !!! |
happy birthday xlibre
|
|
drop the wallpaper, it's nice |
|
I'm very happy with XLibre (installed from pkg) on FreeBSD. A big thank you to everyone contributing to this project! Happy Birthday!! oxwm by Tony Banters is pretty cool also.

|
how hard it was to install xlibre and configure it on FreeBSD ? cause i had issue on vm and only manage to install ghostbsd with a gui on baremetal and qemu without accelaration |
|
It worked out of the box. I installed it from pkg, created an .xinitrc file, and everything just worked. I also tried to use XLibre in a virtual machine (virtualbox) without success. In general, I found FreeBSD in a VM with a Windows host frustrating. However, FreeBSD on bare metal is the best computing experience I have ever had. |
i mean a vm in linux, i am on artix right now, but for my hybrid laptop ghostbsd was way easier to install on nvidia, cause it recognize the gpu out of the box (but only with the freebsd14.3 version and with nvidia gpu only. |
|
Oh, yes. Sorry, I don't have any experience with any Linux distro or QEMU. What little knowledge I have is specific to FreeBSD installed directly on hardware well known to be compatible. In my case, a Lenovo T590. |

Looks nice with the Chicago95 theme! :D |
|
Thanks! Kinda wish you could set a similar theme for Floorp, a Firefox offshoot I'm using at the moment. Oh well. |
|
|
I hope to see XLibre in Slackware-current soon. :) |
OS = Arch |
|
Thank you devs for all the work on XLibre. Really enjoying my setup so far - my Awesome config is a very mildly modified rip from Pablonoya's dotfiles. Artix and Dinit are also very easy to work with and run well. Happy with this system :)
