I feel like community has ditched any Xorg implementation.

Hi everyone,
I have packaged the XLibre X Server from the X11Libre/xserver GitHub
project and the compatible drivers (the corresponding driver from
GitHub X11Libre for each X driver shipped in Fedora) for Fedora 42,
Branched (43), and Rawhide (44). They are available in the following
Copr:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kkofler/xlibre-xserver/
(Notes on drivers: The xf86-video-openchrome driver is not available
from XLibre, but available in the Copr, rebuilt from the source code
from X.Org/freedesktop.org. The third-party xf86-video-armada driver
from git.arm.linux.co.uk is not yet available in the Copr because it
does not compile. All the other xorg-x11-drv-* drivers in Fedora have
XLibre versions in GitHub X11Libre, which are the ones provided in the
Copr.)
The packages include those downstream Fedora patches to xorg-x11-*
that are not already upstream in XLibre. I will bring them up with
XLibre upstream one by one to see if we can get some of them
upstreamed, or if it may make sense to drop them from downstream
instead, but for now I have carried them over.
About naming: The GitHub project is found under "X11Libre/xserver",
the GitHub project "About" says "XLibre Xserver", and the releases are
named "xlibre-xserver-25.x.x.x". So I have decided to name the Copr
and the main package "xlibre-xserver".
The packages have Obsoletes/Provides set up, so enabling the Copr
AUTOMATICALLY replaces the X.Org packages the next time you update.
Hence, simply:
su -
dnf copr enable kkofler/xlibre-xserver
dnf upgrade
should be sufficient to switch from X.Org to XLibre.
At this time, this is COMPLETELY UNTESTED. Tester feedback very
welcome! I might play around with it in a VM soon and produce some
screenshots, but right now, my main priority was to get it out there
for all the interested users.
It is NOT currently planned to get this into Fedora proper. If there
is sufficient interest in my Copr, I might have another try at making
this happen for some future Fedora release, but right now there is
stiff opposition.
