XLibre X Server 1.25.0 on s6 supervised systemd-free Gentoo |
|
That big, they told only wayland and android can have gpu acceleration... (see random armbian link ) 
Recent Xlibre 1.25.5 (it was live ebuild from X11Libre/xserver@c20704f) see more details: X11Libre/xserver#396 |
|
I really like it and never expected someone, in this case: you 😉, to pull off something like this on this chipset. 👏 |
|
@callmetango why do you think gentoo is dominating here and not arch? i am sad :( i think i am the only arch user here 🤣 |
Fwd: I think this might be the first picture of XLibre running on FreeBSD...

tor browser ? you like hacking 🤣🤣🤣 |
|
My x11libre image from 29.6.2025(before xlibre-ports) |
XLibre-1.25.0.0.5 Yes, I'm that old:) |
|
wow, FVWM3! |
|
Slackware + FVWM + X11 is a standard of stubbornness :) |
|
Just noticed FVWM is also the OpenBSD default WM, I didn't noticed it before because it looks quite different in your setup. I am surprise that you can customize like this, great! |
|
It is an advantage of FVWM that it allows to do almost anything (maybe except real transparency for all windows, not only for menus), but sometimes patching is necessary (the team is not so big, and the developers are not necessarily focused on things that You need the most). |
|
love that windows xp luna theme ! |
First? NixOS QEMU VM running XLibre 1.25.0.0.5, basic i3, still haven't tried booting a native machine yet. Making slow steady progress, time permitting :) |
|
what is your host os ? also nix ? |
Yes, this is the first known screenshot of XLibre on NixOS. 👏 |
by host i mean the Linux kernel running QEMU/KVM and me i have the first pure arch linux on liberated screen :) |
|
Yes, both the host and guest are NixOS |
|
Oh I forgot to test it on VM guest |
|
XLibre X Server 1.25.0 xlibre-overlay for NixOS: https://codeberg.org/takagemacoed/xlibre-overlay |
|
wow! the background is nice too, nix logo looks like many lambdas :) |
Or thorns. |
|
lmao the activate linux overlay 😂 |
|
@takagemacoed dont forgot to activate Linux 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |
i do not see any lamda in nix os ... i see spike or a snowflake ❄️ |
Usage: Daily driver |
|
Gentoo is dominating |
|
Why is gentoo dominating (i am mad, cause i use arch and i want arch to win 😭) ? i am joking btw |
XLibre 1.25.4 on Artix Linux using the Dinit init system |
|
Thank you for sharing and thank you for updating the "works" status of XFCE at Are We XLibre Yet? · X11Libre/xserver Wiki as well. 🙏 |
|
Wow, first Artix XLibre liberated screen! |
|
Is this a laptop ? |
|
here is my of a artix qemu vm (when i will eventually succed installing on arch as arch doesnt have a iso with xlibre pre-installed sadly and i am quite a noob) |
|
I think you can use the command If you are comfortable with EndeavourOS, I think you can use the instruction from X11Libre/pkgbuilds-arch-based repository to install XLibre! It should be no different from Arch Linux. |
|
Nice and first one on pure Arch Linux, I'd say! 👏 |
|
well this is was the artix xlibre community iso not pure arch, but i wanted to post it here to show it does exist, now i will be trying with a pure arch vm (with archinstall minimal with a de like probably xcfe mainly so i can show a complete image but i will try a minimal wm after) |
|
Oh, ok. I misread this. |
XLibre X Server 1.25.0 -- built from source from master (0c261e010), so this may just be the older static label from meson.build |
There are short instruction for linux mint : https://t.me/x11dev/1/48672 I don't thing it will be too much different |
but Linux Mint is Ubuntu based and while Ubuntu is debian based, it has it's difference. So linux mint is not debian based but Ubuntu LTS based. |
It wasn't too bad. I just cloned the repo and installed the dependencies given by menson and installed the dev versions so they'd have the appropriate c headers. Most installed without any issues from apt, but some needed to be hunted down. I compiled drm and xorgproto from source. Not sure if that's strictly required, but was easiest since the versions didn't line up from apt. Then you can launch it by either just running the build directly or moving to PATH and running startx. |
|
why is kitty named lolcat in this screenshot? is this a fork ? |
|
@xgui4 the titlebar is just displaying the running command. lolcat adds random color to the text output. |
|
My pure arch linux image ! it is a work in progress but a big part is done ! |
|
You can use some commands like |
|
I am actually using old Nvidia hardware so I have to use proprietary driver. I have to enable You can also see Graphics devices & drivers for compatibility of different devices. I think for Nvidia it only affect old GPU, because new GPU can use the open driver. But I am not sure. |
|
but for me the nouveau driver does not work at all on my laptop probably cause of optimus |
|
@xgui4 I kindly ask you to discuss any efforts to get things working on Arch Linux in the X11Libre Xlibre On Arch Linux · Discussions · GitHub so other users will be able to see it as well. This thread here is more meant to be about the end result and how it was achieved. |
|
i may it work thank you :) now i just have to make i3 work for my audhd brain 🤣 cause right now it look just way tooo ugly and i do not see enough movement ! 🤣 |
Xlibre 25.0.0.5 running on BTW |
|
did you like my touhou wallpaper ? |
|
Haha, those colors were auto generated with Pywal, for some wallpapers they look great it is just not the case with this one. |
|
great! |
|
status bar is sleek! |
Hey Thanks, |
|
X11Libre compiled with TCC compiler on FreeBSD |
|
I have a Reddit post on r/suckless too |
|
but will freebsd even boot on a laptop with nvidia gpu that cannot be disabled on the UEFI firmware ? @Medvidek77 |
|
but that Wallpaper is sooooo beatiful !!!! |
I think probably yes, as long as the Nvidia driver isn't loading. |
|
Screen liberated in compiler level crazy |
|
my bare metal i3 ! :) |
|
First EndeavourOS libreated screan! |
|
@xgui4 So you're running XLibre on bare metal and EndeavourOS, right? Where did you get the XLibre packages from? Did you use X11Libre/pkgbuilds-arch-based: PKGBUILD files and binary package repository for Arch based distros or AUR (en) - xlibre-server? |
yes this is polybar |
|
|
dwm ;) |
|
one of the few without a anime girl 🤣 this mean it is original and unique to you ! |
Running StumpWM @ 4k 240hz |
|
a other gentoo user ???? |
|
One simply cannot have enough AMD cards nor refresh rate. 😆😉 |
