Yserver: Modern X11 Server Written in Rust with the Help of Claude Code

manbart

Glad to see this and other efforts to keep X server going. I don't have strong feelings on the Wayland vs X debate, but the window managers I use don't support Wayland, so I'd like to be able to keep using them

As stated on the project page, by design, this is not meant to be a full-featured X11 server. As such it will have it's own use cases, so I wanted to mention that there is a project that is a fork of X11 called XLibre. It is, by design, meant to be a drop in replacement that will perpetuate X11 as Wayland starts to become the default. The current release of Ubuntu 26.04 is the last version that will use X11. The next major release will use wayland. Personally, I think it's a mistake to just write of X11 in favor of Wayland because they are not compatible in fundamental way, so I'm always glad to see projects like this and XLibre.

The amount of wasted resources in the open source community will never cease to amaze me. I do understand that's the advantage of open source. But I still think this is a waste of time.
