Проекты Artix Linux и GhostBSD переходят с X.Org Server на XLibre

Разработчики дистрибутива Artix Linux объявили о переходе на использование по умолчанию XLibre, форка X.Org Server. Отмечается, что публикуемые с июня прошлого года экспериментальные сборки с XLibre хорошо зарекомендовали себя и теперь проект перевёл на XLibre основные еженедельно обновляемые сборки.
