GhostBSD switches to XLibre display server |
 |
The GhostBSD project, which develops a user-friendly FreeBSD variant with MATE as the preferred desktop, has a new dilemma. Following conflicts and upheavals in the X.Org project and the continuous rise in popularity of the Wayland display server (at least in the Linux world), GhostBSD developer Eric Turgeon has published an article explaining the reasons behind a probable switch from X.Org to XLibre for the upcoming release of GhostBSD: "I looked at XLibre's improvements and was impressed. I started to think: if I release 26.01 with XLibre, I'll have to push the release for a month or two, but at least we should be in good shape. The change to XLibre is because GhostBSD is not ready for Wayland, and Wayland is not ready for GhostBSD. Some could say that Wayland works. Yes, it does. I've used it on Linux and it works. But GhostBSD is not Linux, and MATE is not ready for it yet. Xfce is not ready for it, and Gershwin isn't either. From what I know, GNUstep is not ready for Wayland. In short, it's a technical decision: MATE is not ready for Wayland, and X.Org is going backward." For more explanations please see the blog post entitled Addressing XLibre Change and GhostBSD Future.
