Open Source Can't Coordinate
I got curious and found a ton of red flags in about half hour...
Summary of the drama that resulted in Xlibre: https://discuss.pixls.us/t/weekly-recap-8-june-2025/50638
From the README at https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver:
> This is an independent project, not at all affiliated with BigTech or any of their subsidiaries or tax evasion tools, nor any political activists groups, state actors, etc. It's explicitly free of any "DEI" or similar discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating others nicely is welcomed.
This exchange between him and Torvalds in 2021:

Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything
quick disclaimer before anyone starts telling their friends about x11libre; the project is associated with MAGA language and personally I don't trust it

Gnome introducing stronger dependencies on systemd
There is lots of work no ones wants to do in their free time. That is why you pay people money.
And why wouldn't someone be happy working on X11? It is an open source project, it is high impact work. I would jump at it instantly if someone paid me a competitive wage. Not every person wants to work on some ego-driven rewrite of a rewrite. Some people are fine working with legacy code.
Also there is a counter example right above my post. Someone was so motivated to work on it, they even forked it: https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver
Granted the fork seems weirdly ideologically motivated but anyway, case in point.

XLibre Xserver: Banned by Red Hat Developer Plans Revival of X11
> bugs and solving real problems.
In my search I also found that the XLibre project description mentions "BigTech moles killing Xorg", XLibre being "free of DEI discrimination" and wanting to "Make X great again!" (<https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver>). And he posted an antivax conspiracy on the Linux kernel mailing list (<https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/6/10/903>). And he appears to be a German WW2 apologist (<https://web.archive.org/web/20190404153507/https://lists.dyn...>). So... there's that too.
