#SonicDE reported on Jan 25 that a joint announcement with #KDE didn't happen because @kde.org became unresponsive. To cheer up @sonicdesktop.bsky.social a bit, you may like and follow them. To cheer you up, new #XLibre features may be integrated into SonicDE. ;-)

The developers of @sonicdesktop.bsky.social forked the #X11 related components of #KDE and are already improving them. There are #SonicDE packages in #ArtixLinux, in the AUR aur.archlinux.org/packages/son..., and co-hosted at x11libre.net/repo/arch_ba.... #XLibre #XingsDay

There's no value in holding back features.
There's no merit in canceling contributors.
There's no progress in removing commits.
There's no freedom in forced obsolescence.

We forked #Xorg to clean up the code, fix bugs, add new features, and release it.

We bring #X11 forward. #XLibre

Yes, it's wild. When we talk about X, we also sometimes ask ourselves, "Which one? Theirs or ours?" ;-)

Color Management & HDR · X11Libre · Discussion #251 Describe the feature There has been no progress on implementing HDR within the X11 protocol, though it could potentially be approached in two ways. One option is to follow Wayland’s lead (in terms ...
