Testing it out on CuerdOS and it makes the whole experience a lot snappier than Wayland on CacnyOS. Even in games.

Curious if anybody else has tried it out yet?
 
No interest since I utilize Wayland for HDR & VRR. Does XLibre provide either feature with Proton?
 
Wayland does everything I need and supports VRR, I've got no interest in reviving X11.
 
If you are interested in Xlibre I see Lunduke released an OS using Xlibre as the windowing system. Out of curiosity spun up a VM of it on my Xen Server.

I gave it a shot for a few days. My experience was similar desktop responsiveness felt a bit snappier, especially with window movement and game launches. That said, Wayland still worked better for me with a couple of apps, so I ended up switching back for now. It’ll be interesting to see how XLibre matures over the next few releases.

Curious the wayland apps that didn't work with it? It's usually the other way around with X11 apps not working well with Wayland.

For me it was the advanced power settings for using my laptop plugged in but capped at 60 percent charged.

As far as distros go, the Lunduke one is so new, so untested that even he considers it to be an alpha bordering on beta (since it uses "off the shelf" components). There are guides to getting XLibre running on Cachy and it's a default option on I want to say Artix, as far as for more mature builds go.

XLibre was stifled so long by its handlers that it's still got a ways to go, I think, before it becomes a mainstream option again, but on the flipside, development is happening so fast and with so much support that I don't expect it to take all that long, either.

Now you just need to find the version written all in assembly ;)

Isn't Lunduke OS just Deuvan in a hat though?
