[XFCE] Mojave Theme on XLibre

28 upvotes 7 comments
I've never been too fond of Wayland, with it's corporate sponsors and project architecture that threatens to kill-off smaller desktops and window managers: hurting one of *NIX's best qualities IMO, it's fragmentation and user-choice.

So, when I heard about the X11 revival effort, [XLibre](https://x11libre.net/), and read that they had a mostly stable release, I switched over.

It's been a drop-in replacement, my package manager (pacman) prompted me that `xorg-xserver` and `xlibre-xserver` would be in-conflict, and thus automatically removed `xorg-*` in favour of `xlibre-*`. Everything else has just worked.

Immediately off-the-bat XLibre has TearFree enabled by default, which improves the feel of the desktop massively. But that's about the only change I can "feel", a lot of the work is under-the-hood with code-cleanup efforts and refactoring.
