Fedora's FESCo To Decide Whether To Replace Upstream X.Org Server With XLibre Fork


In addition to the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) having to decide on whether i686 support should end for Fedora Linux (including multilib), another contentious proposal is on replacing the X.Org X11 Server with the controversial XLibre fork.

There is no intent to ever replace the Xwayland implementation, only the standalone Xserver and its subpackages (Xnest, Xvfb, Xephyr), and possibly the driver packages (xorg-x11-drv-*)." The change regardless though won't impact too many users at large considering Fedora has been at the forefront of Wayland-based desktop sessions and XWayland continuing to be available.
