<p>Looks like the maintainers of xlibre packages in the FreeBSD 15.0 did a great work <img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/bsd.cafe/drgn_aww.png" class="emoji" alt=":drgn_aww:" title=":drgn_aww:"> </p><p>I was able to switch from Xorg to XLibre with just two commands and without any issues, lol <img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/bsd.cafe/drgn_aww.png" class="emoji" alt=":drgn_aww:" title=":drgn_aww:"> </p><p><a href="https://eugene-andrienko.com/it/2026/01/22/freebsd-15-0-xlibre.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="eugene-andrienko.com/it/2026/01/22/freebsd-15-0-xlibre.html"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">eugene-andrienko.com/it/2026/0</span><span class="invisible">1/22/freebsd-15-0-xlibre.html</span></a></p><p>Worth to mention, that any of my tricks described in the previous blogpost (<a href="https://eugene-andrienko.com/it/2025/07/24/x11-configuration-simple.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="eugene-andrienko.com/it/2025/07/24/x11-configuration-simple.html"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">eugene-andrienko.com/it/2025/0</span><span class="invisible">7/24/x11-configuration-simple.html</span></a>) are working too without any problems.</p><p><a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="/tags/xlibre/" rel="tag">#XLibre</a></p>

<p>GhostBSD is going to abandon Xorg after 15 years. Eric Turgeon explains why GhostBSD switched from Xorg to XLibre instead of Wayland.</p><p>Full details here: <a href="https://ostechnix.com/ghostbsd-switches-to-xlibre-over-wayland/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="ostechnix.com/ghostbsd-switches-to-xlibre-over-wayland/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ostechnix.com/ghostbsd-switche</span><span class="invisible">s-to-xlibre-over-wayland/</span></a> </p><p><a href="/tags/ghostbsd/" rel="tag">#Ghostbsd</a> <a href="/tags/xlibre/" rel="tag">#Xlibre</a> <a href="/tags/xorg/" rel="tag">#Xorg</a> <a href="/tags/displayserver/" rel="tag">#Displayserver</a> <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#Freebsd</a> <a href="/tags/bsd/" rel="tag">#Bsd</a> <a href="/tags/unix/" rel="tag">#Unix</a></p>

Right I&#x27;m not interested in starting a flame war but I am interested to see how many folk in 2026 use <a href="/tags/wayland/" rel="tag">#Wayland</a> or <a href="/tags/wayback/" rel="tag">#Wayback</a> and how many use <a href="/tags/x11/" rel="tag">#X11</a> or even <a href="/tags/xlibre/" rel="tag">#Xlibre</a> .

<p>The <a href="/tags/vendefoul/" rel="tag">#Vendefoul</a> Wolf <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a> maintainers recently introduced their <a href="/tags/viriato/" rel="tag">#Viriato</a> series based on <a href="/tags/devuan/" rel="tag">#Devuan</a> 7 Freia. They ship both <a href="/tags/xlibre/" rel="tag">#XLibre</a> and <a href="/tags/xorg/" rel="tag">#Xorg</a> as well as the <a href="/tags/kde/" rel="tag">#KDE</a> and <a href="/tags/sonicde/" rel="tag">#SonicDE</a> desktop environments.
