You can download Artix Linux 2026.04 right now
Why would anybody? It’s actively advertising that it’s using a replacement for X11 created by a MAGA, anti-vaxx dipshit whose claim to ultra-niche fame was making a fucking mess of Xorg by recklessly churning out PRs, accordingly getting barred from contributing, and throwing a bitch fit and spinning his removal into some incoherent Red Hat conspiracy theory.
Here’s the raw level of competence you can expect when you trust XLibre’s developer to reimplement a decades-old mountain of low-level spaghetti. (For anybody who’s never written C/C++, this is something you would – generously – learn in the first half-hour of learning the language. Making a typo is semi-understandable. Being confused when confronted by it and having it directly explained to you is fucking insane given the nature of the project.)

Yeah, i stumbled on that too. But it’s insane to do that in such a project and not understand it immediately

@TheTechnician27 @faizalr Well despite all the shit blasting, Installing XLibre has fixed Screen Tearing and input lag which has been a plague on XOrg for years.

Using XLibre is an option, as is using anything in the Linux world.
