XLibre - a fork of Xorg

[GNUser]

The decision to be taken is perhaps not deciding between x11 and XLibre, but rather deciding between x11/XLibre and wayland.

Hi Juanito. Thank you very much for this detailed description of the state of affairs. While I am a bit surprised at your conclusion, I trust your judgment and experience. TCL will continue to shine in the future, with whatever extensions are available.

At the risk of digressing into an ode to TCL, TCL might be the only suckless distro that can actually be configured into a daily driver. Wherever TCL goes I will happily follow.

While I am a bit surprised at your conclusion

I'm not sure I made a conclusion 

..but if I were to make a suggestion it would be:

x86: stick with x11 only
x86_64: not sure
armhf/aarch64: move to wayland only

I'm not sure I made a conclusion 

Thanks for clarifying. Your suggestions make sense.

While I don't like the idea of moving any architecture to wayland only, I understand that there are many things that TCL as a distro--and I as a user--have to deal with that are outside our control.

P.S. Rant follows.
   Pardon if I vent for just a second. Software such as systemd and wayland have caused a lot of fragmentation, uncertainty, and wasted precious resources (namely, human time and energy). I would know about wasted time and energy: I have invested well over 100 hours to make my TCL+labwc+sfwbar setup as productive as my TCL+fluxbox setup. I did that only to be prepared for the possibility of a future without Xorg. Truth be told, I was perfectly happy with fluxbox and actually prefer it over labwc+sfwbar.
    TCL really does a tremendous job of creating beauty and order out of the chaos that is all-things-linux. For as long as I use linux, TCL is the distro for me. But on some days, the BSDs (which don't have systemd or wayland, and don't suffer from nearly the same degree of fragmentation as linux) sure look attractive. As long as TCL enables me to stay productive and relatively sane, I have no plans on ditching linux for one of the BSDs. Thank you for all you do, Juanito.

a humble thought.

can we move this thread to "General TC Talk" and make it a sticky(pinned to stay visible at the top)?

as always, huge kudos to everyone here for making this community(and TCL) such a pleasure to enjoy!

also i concur with @GNUser rant in reply number 32:
