XLibre

On #ArchLinux, you can now get both the “oldstable” #XLibre 25.0.x and the latest “beta” 25.2.x packages from our XLibre third-party repo. Please see xlibre-arch.github.io for setup instructions. The old x11libre.net/repo/arch_ba... repo has been removed in favor of the new repos.

Our response to allegations on the #ArtixLinux forum was deleted today, a few hours after posting it. It dealt with claims made by a former #XLibre team member, who calls himself "artist." You can find the deleted post in our X (Twitter) article x.com/XLibreDev/st...

We regret that we had to part ways with one of our team members. Given his recent behavior, he may try to remove #XLibre from #ArtixLinux for "technical“ reasons. In any case, we have packages, a forum, and a bug tracker for you at xlibre-artix.github.io.
