X11 is a protocol. Xorg is an end of life'd project run by the Wayland team.

Xlibre is an actively developed and maintained X11 protocol display server.

Xfree86 is dead, long live Xorg. Xorg is dead, long live Xlibre!

Xenocara does it better than XLibre.
You forgot to mention that Xlibre is run by a conspiracy theorist, who broke Xorg by having multiple bugs in his Merge Requests and is well known in the kernel mailing list for spreading vaccine misinformation and getting called out by Linus Torvalds personally for it

Would you run and rely on TempleOS? Then XLibre is for you!

He didn't break Xorg because xorg isn't shipping new releases. All developers introduce bugs.
