The fork of X.org, named Xlibre, initiated by Enrico Weigelt, favors existing X11 tools over the Wayland protocol. Red Hat's apparent preference for Wayland led to Fedora not including Xlibre. This situation indirectly influenced the development of the Wayback display server, which allows existing X11 desktops to function under Wayland using XWayland. Developer Ariadne Conill highlighted concerns regarding security bugs introduced by the Xlibre project, emphasizing the distinction between Xlibre's conservative technological stance and its politically conservative implications.
Xlibre is a conservative, and Conservative, fork that prefers existing X11 tools over Wayland, as indicated in its GitHub README.
Ariadne Conill's Wayback display server supports traditional X11 desktop environments using a Wayland compositor without requiring an X11 server.
