Addressing XLibre Change and GhostBSD Future

2 days ago

GhostBSD is moving to XLibre due to concerns about Xorg's future and lack of progress.
Wayland is not yet viable for GhostBSD as MATE, XFCE, and Gershwin are not ready for it.
XLibre was chosen after evaluation, and it was ported to GhostBSD's ports tree before FreeBSD.
The decision to switch was influenced by Xorg reverting changes for non-technical reasons, seen as a red flag.
MATE's future is uncertain, with little communication from developers and slow progress on Wayland support.
GTK 3's maintenance is uncertain, and GTK 5 will drop X11 support, posing a future challenge.
Gershwin, a new project using Objective-C, is being considered as a potential future desktop environment.
GhostBSD's founder is considering delegating tasks to ensure the project's survival amid personal challenges.
The project's longevity is uncertain, with the founder acknowledging the need for community support.
