No, the letter is X.

It's like you aren't even paying attention...

I stand corrected.

Happy cake day!

Not a surprise to anyone actually paying attention.

And how many patches Xlibre has applied meanwhile?...

[–] Uncut_Lemon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Considering they have an active GitHub repo, likely recently. Even more so with the BSD's incorporating it as a default.

The BSD's are embracing xlibre, so it is a project that's being taken seriously and has real technical merits.

Good for them.

They've already been patching those before X.Org got those updates. I use XLibre myself, so I'd know about it anyway.
