The state of X Server in 2026

Hi folks !

My name is Alexander Orlovsky i run my own derivative of T2 Linux (custom T2 Linux. source based) , recently after release of my build i started to think about integrating with X Server , for that purpose i created pools:

I would be very happy if you can provide any feedback about integrating with Wayland, since i have limited resources and i can support in my distro only one X Server , so i ask community for a feedback.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards

Alexander

Welcome @aorlovsky and I will ping @bero for this.

Although I don’t believe this belongs in the development section, I cannot move it.

Which X server?

That depends on who your distro is targetting as a user base.

Both XLibre and Wayland have positives and negatives.

However (looking at your page) if you are planning on supporting TDE, I would suggest XLibre.

While XFCE is planning a wayland move, they are still working on it

I am not a systems dev (yet :smiling_face_with_horns: ) so take my opinion with a big bucket of salt…
