“So what’s up with the X.Org Server Git activity in 2024? It primarily comes down to two reasons. First, the XWayland code that lives within the X.Org Server continues to be actively developed with supporting new Wayland protocols and other fixes/additions… XWayland is the primary – and for the most part only – area of the X.Org Server continuing to see new feature work. The other reason is open-source developer Enrico Weigelt.
Enrico Weigelt has largely been working on X.Org Server fixes and improvements around testing and better CI BSD coverage areas for the X.Org Server. Enrico has near single-handedly been working on some X.Org Server fixes and other minor feature work with no major vendors like Red Hat or Intel left investing in the X.Org Server development.”
Doesn’t mean X.org is making a comeback.
