People have all kind of opinions about xlibre as a project and the politics around it that I'm not interested in, but if they're driving xorg to improve, that's a good thing.

I'm not some anti-wayland zealot but you will pry xfce out of my cold dead hands.

Hard same. I'm using xfce on my laptop with mint xfce edition, and it's a breath of fresh air. Everything just works how you'd expect it to work, and it gets out of your way.

I tried sway a couple years ago and I lost count of the number of things I needed to go and find wayland specific workarounds for. I know things have gotten better since then, but I didn't see any benefit to switching and a whole lot of hassle.

Xorg has had releases for years and will continue to do so. But as you can see in the announcement, enterprise users are the driving factor.

Even xfce will one day move to Wayland.

AwesomeWM for me. I've essentially fused with it. Warts and all.
