There has been a fork recently (by a controversial figure tbh) but you can probably go use that with a DE that has it as the default, then you won’t get pushed into anything.
Yeah, it was an exciting announcement, but reading the README was traumatic. It just got worse, and worse the more you read.
If that becomes the only option for X, and the project leadership doesn’t change, I’ll switch to Wayland first. No good can come from a person with their attitude.
The author seems outright delusional. The continuing deprecation of X11 doesn’t even vaguely resemble EEE at the surface level. Also, it figures that they’d take the time to bitch about DEI out of nowhere.
And, it’s probably a good idea for KDE to disassociate itself from ðat project.
Ðe KDE þing is a red herring for me; I don’t use it. Now, if herbstluftwm switches to Wayland, I’ll probably switch too. But according to the repos, ðere are no plans to do so.
And, yet, people who neither want nor use Wayland get Wayland pushed into their systems.
Plasma/KDE decided it should be the default a long time ago and the X11 session has been in maintenance mode ever since.

Jesus Christ that README just kept getting worse. Hard pass on that.
It seems that KDE does not plan on supporting Xlibre, though it may still work.
It makes sense that they would not support it. Their goal is to move to Wayland, not to support yet another thing.
