first one on KDE Neon ! It is the Ubuntu Icons (from the Ubuntu desktop package) with Ubuntu Cursor, Breeze Dark Color, Latyan Theme, touhou cirno wallpaper. 
here is vm updated to plasma 6.6 beta :) 
|
|
the wallpaper are in my github btw : xgui4/wallpaper (not made by me , but it is a collection of wallaper i found and used) |
|
@xgui4 Did you use xlibre-deb/ubuntu: Ubuntu repository for XLibre (unofficial) to install XLibre on KDE neon? |
|
i use this : https://xlibre-deb.github.io/ubuntu/ |
|
Thanks! |
Hello! Attached is a screenshot of XLibre 1.25.0.0.12 + systemd running on a beta version of CuerdOS 2.0 on real hardware! My hardware is: DELL Latitude E6320
This machine is used daily! |
|
Thank you for sharing and I think this is a "First one on CuerdOS!" 👏 |
|
I never heard of CuerdOS ! What is that Distro all about ? Why do use Marco instead of Mutter ? Isn't Mate a GNOME Fork who use Mutter ? |
Gnome uses Mutter. But they are all forks of Metacity WM. Some historical read from saner times: https://blogs.gnome.org/metacity/2007/12/23/start-reading-here/ |
|
what a nice desktop :D |
|
I've liberated my machine :D 
XLibre X Server 1.25.0 Usage: daily driver |
|
Well it worked lol that is a stunning looking desktop while in floating mode. Pretty cool idea too. Gives the programs slightly more real estate. I might incorporate that in our window manager... I assume the 1-9 in the upper-left are your various desktops? It also doesn't look like you have any supervisor in that window manager (e.g. a menuing system for navigation like the 'Start' menu or wbar). How do you start programs? |
Precisely, I usually don't use them all tho.
I use a hotkey for my application launcher. Right now I'm using dmenu, but I might switch to rofi for the looks, then I just type the name and it opens. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. It really feeds on my narcissistic side to talk about my own computer LOL. |
|
lol So basically the meta key exposes a run-type dialog to type in the command to run. I looked at some screen shots of dmenu and rofi to get some ideas. That's an interesting design for sure. Absolutely keeps the desktop clean. Again, things I'll add to our window manager. These are negligible in size to incorporate, just would require the effort to add them... Thanks for the info @LuskaFLL Any other tidbits that are interesting about your setup? |
|
My most recent addition was a secret transparent polybar session that serves to show whenever my DualShock ps4 controller is connected and its battery percentage, I made it this way because I don't always have the controller connected and I didn't want to break symmetry with empty space. I used dsbattery and their polybar module, though I think I'll add further functionality like general bluetooth connection or smth in the future, right now it seems wasteful when it only really servers one purpose. There are probably better ways to do what I did here though, like a slider that shows up with connection or mouse hover, but I wasn't in the mood to search it up. Btw, I'm curious, if you're making you're own WM what is it about? And how can I look it up? |
|
I moved this response per the request below. Please see https://github.com/orgs/X11Libre/discussions/411 for this answer. |

playing luanti on my old HP latop using Xlibre in Alpine Linux :) XLibre X Server on systemd-free Alpine linux 
|
|
first on alpine ? Where did you get it xlibre from espcially knowing since the alpine maintainer have a strong stance against xlibre apparently for "politcial reason" ... |
|
downloaded it and compiled it myself. |
Probably compiled it manually, also see X11Libre/packaging#18 |
The third one after https://github.com/orgs/X11Libre/discussions/211#discussioncomment-13974810 and X11Libre/packaging#18 (comment). But nevertheless always nice to see! |
Thank you for sharing and your feedback! It is always a pleasure to hear from users about where and how they are using XLibre. |
|
made the switch, feel so good to see X11 back in game 
compositor: picom v12.5 (by yshui) |
|
Thank you for sharing! Very nice and simple. |
|
posted this on twitter. thought i'd post it here |
|
@bctnry |
yeah. on that day i saw lunduke posted the news and decided to switch |
i also learn XLibre from Lunduke 🤣 |
Xlibre on Linux Mint 22.2 on a Trident 3 with Nvidia Super 1660
|
|
Thank you for sharing! What is your monitor config, something vertical? |
|
Liberated 3 months ago! Apologize for my hostname. Don't want to offend anyone. XLibre X server 1.25.0 |
How would I know where my "buttons" are, if someone didn't step on them from time to time? It's a "service". |
what do you mean by that ???? Do you know the n word is a very racist slur ??? |
|
As every "rapper" can attest (and has), that's context and subject dependent. The listener is the subject, so this may say more about the listener than the speaker... which was my point: It tells you something about yourself. (FYI: Not that it's germane, but I had not seen the word you referenced when I wrote that. After your comment, I looked more closely) I am not a slave. Therefore, I claim personal responsibility for my person, and everything I do, including any reactions I have. I need to know what I am responsible for, so I deem this a positive service to me. |
Oh, so you're a raper? That's cool, man! |
|
@nevarent One question: Which init system do you use? |
|
Moving this over here as requested: 
KDE on X11Libre on Arch on a 1st-gen Framework 13. That said, while I'm not currently running Gentoo on anything, I'm still maintaining an overlay that I've had available for years. (This makes that possible, and "maintenance" mainly involves updating and testing ebuilds when new versions are released.) I still have a Larry the Cow sticker on the lid, too. :) I tried getting Artix up and running on it a little while back to get rid of systemd, but there was something not running quite right that sent me back to Arch. |
|
@salfter Thank you for sharing and moving your screen here! |
|
Did this a while ago and forgot to share here! I made an installer for steam os even in my github. In the background i showed off my atomic conf edits to preserve the changes that xlibre has on steamdeck. |
gnu/linux
Native packages are harder than flatpaks? |
|
Compiling on anything is definitely more work. Package managers should take that all away so that you just install whatever you like with a click or single command. |
Besides from Gentoo, no package manager requires you to compile stuff manually, I think. |
|
I agree, when the list of items to complete just to compile software starts to approach a book, it definitely makes me reconsider my choice to compile lol And some compiling systems require a ton of dependencies, etc. I definitely prefer the package management route. I'm not familiar with Gentoo. I've basically been on Debian or some fork for decades now. Back in the day I did try Slackware for a bit though. I don't even think it's being actively worked on any more. Also looked at Suse for a very brief time, but I can't even remember much of that one. |
steam os in desktop mode is always an X session its only xwayland in gamescope mode for the 4 hdr games that work for me i turn it off and go full SDR it gets better battery on jupiter boards |
|
I got artix modded with kwin-x11-sonic from Joseph Crowell |
|
The author of garuda says that it incorporates some from candy icons... |
the icon and theme name is on the fast fetch there feel free to copy my wife made this bizarre mixture in 2022 and ive continued to use the garuda candy look since then |
|
you have a wife and are using Arch and still being straight ? impossible ... (Joke) |
As in your wife assembled various images into a set, or she actually made them using something like Gimp? |
|
@HaplessIdiot One question: Which init system do you use on your Artix box? |
|
First one on Debian GNU/Hurd! 😜 |
Still some bugs, hopefully I can get some XLibre devs to check that out. |
|
this is crazy lol |
|
I really like it and IMO it is exactly the good old tech spirit: Make things work wherever you want them to work in the way you want them to work. |
|
is the web browser the emacs web browser? |
No, that's Lynx. |
First one on HerbstluftWM! OS: Artix (runit) I wish the project success and longevity. |
|
Thank you for your kind wishes, sharing, and updating the “Are We XLibre Yet?” page! |
|
Awesome !!!!! |
|
@maclightning2 One question: Which init system do you use? |
runit |
|
Thank you! |
|
Liberated on Alpine again but i spent way longer porting all of the packages which took a few days, but this time will share APKBUILD sources/binary prebuilts for x86_64 soon on https://github.com/xlibre-alpine (and after this will liberate Chimera soon) |
|
Thank you for sharing and creating the third-party APKs for XLibre on Alpine Linux! Nice work. I'll come back to you in the next days. |
|
Successfully liberated Chimera Linux now (take that Chimera devs who think it won't be upstreamed) |
|
How is deleting "Wayland" reactionary ? You can still have wayland and xlibre on the same machine like i have. putting this image on their forum would be great 🤣🤣🤣 |
|
@matu6968 |
|
I can't install chimera. It's broken as fuck. |
might make one on herbsluft freebsd soon!
|
|
@alinxviso Thank you for sharing! herbstluftwm on FreeBSD would be a first one. 😉 Is this also herbstluftwm in the screenshot? |
|
Where did you get the wallpaper? It's beautiful |
it's just dwm :) |
i took the photo! if i ever make a dotfile repo it'll be there! |
Please do, I really dig it |
pretty generic Arch KDE setup with WhiteSur theme and kwin-x11-lite |
|
what is a MS-7D16 ?? it is a hyper-v vm with gpu passthrought ?? |
|
well it's a self-build by my father's friend so I'm unsure |
Probably some random motherboard |
|
yea probably |
An MSI motherboard of some sort. At home, I have a board that shows up in fastfetch as an "MS-7C37," for which a search says it's an MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus. (I probably should post a screenshot from it, now that it's running X11Libre...held back a bit on account of it using the NVIDIA binary-blob driver. I already put up a screenshot from my Framework 13...look for Gentoo and Arch logos on the same screen. :) ) "MS-7D16" comes back as an MSI H510i Pro WiFi. |
Linux Mint 22.2 Wilma Cinnamon, Dell OEM RTX 2060, on proprietary NVIDIA drivers. Works great!!!!!
|
|
Thank you for sharing and your feedback! Always appreciated to see XLibre working on setups that some people say would never ever be possible. 😉 |
|
And another thing: how do you manage to keep track of all those icons? I almost get "situations" when there are more than 10 on my desktop. 😆 |
|
Finding them is one thing, which is why i have them grouped by category, but I always remember what they're called because i either name them something really stupid or I simply access them a lot. Also I can't stand an empty desktop. For me, if my desktop is empty, it means I am being useless, it means I am doing nothing. That doesn't apply to everyone of course, I only feel that way about my own PC. I like to tinker, program, play with VMs, all sorts of stuff. I do run into situations, there are nested folders, but I solve the problem of finding stuff using Nemo file search which is a billion times better and faster than Windows file search. Most of the stuff I need to access is Minecraft B1.7.3 source files anyway, which is why I have so many RetroMCP folders. I run a custom b1.7.3 SMP with plugins with a custom client. I worked for months on it and I maintain it myself Enough about my antics tho, I also noticed that XLibre fixed screen captures from flickering a crap ton. I never thought that would be fixed tbh, if thats fixed then i can imagine the PLETHORA of other things also fixed with XLibre. I really really love XLibre, not just cuz it doesn't condemn me for being conservative, but because it is actually good software. I will highly highly recommend XLibre to whomever uses Linux whenever I can. |

Xlibre master running on OrangePI RV2 using PowerVR B-Series BXE-2-32 MC1 GPU with hardware acceleration or what it possible (from page it only supports Vulkan 1.3 & OpenGL ES only, see: https://www.imaginationtech.com/product/img-bxe-2-32/): linux: OrangePI Ubuntu 22.04 (http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-RV2.html) |
|
it is a ai board computer ? |
Yes. It is designed for "AI" AFAIK. Keep in mind that you can use these NPU/"AI optimized" computers for other things than LLMs, you can also use those for plain old neural networks or cryptocurrency mining IIRC. |
Xlibre running on my Artix main machine.
|
|
@xsoder One question: Which init system do you use? |
|
Runit I love it so far.
|
what about dinit? it doesn't rely on bash and is quite fast. |
|
I want to try it but I am addicted to bash and runit.
|
Thank you! |
