My thoughts are pretty simple. X11 is a protocol. I remember XFree86, then we had Xorg. Xorg seems to be largely a sponsored project by some dedicated engineers of certain companies, as well as open source contributions of course. It's a public infrastructure level type of software for Linux and other Unix systems.
Xorg is "end of life" in "maintenance mode" - well sorta, kinda not really. It kind of feels like Go-oo open office, when the official releases were long and far apart and so distros started patch stacking and trying to hold it together. Then we got a fork, LibreOffice.
Xlibre is actively being developed. It seems like they want to introduce novel extensions, and attack the decades of old code. I have been watching the commits and have been surprised to see very obvious code issues fixed. They're willing to attack and untangle a old software and I am happy for it
So if I want to keep using my X11 software, I need to use something. Should I use the one that is dead or alive
