Artix Linux discontinues XLibre support due to bugs and harassment (artixlinux.org)

With the 2026.08 ISO release, Artix switched back to Xorg. The switch had been decided soon after the 2026.04 release, due to the unusually high amount of XLibre-related bug reports on our forum and started with our weekly ISO images. This resulted in backlash from XLibre and a veteran Artix developer, Artist, was targeted and harassed, which led to his resignation.

Those XLibre developers must be lovely people...

Wow, it's like if the Phoronix forums didn't have its sane element. Is this representative of Artix users generally?
