With the 2026.08 ISO release, Artix switched back to Xorg. The switch had been decided soon after the 2026.04 release, due to the unusually high amount of XLibre-related bug reports on our forum and started with our weekly ISO images. This resulted in backlash from XLibre and a veteran Artix developer, Artist, was targeted and harassed, which led to his resignation.

Those XLibre developers must be lovely people...

It turns out when the people who knew X11 best decided there was no more polishing this turd and it was time to start over, they knew what they were on about?
