Problem Description

Most distros are on their way to dropping X11 including Desktop enviroments like GNOME and KDE. I'ts only a matter of time when other desktops also start migrating to Wayland.

Proposed solution

Could we get a Xlibre installation script for each package manager added into Linutil as a alternative to Wayland? Chris started using Xlibre on DWM it would be a good alternative then being forced onto Wayland for those that want to keep using X11. For users who don't know how to setup Xlibre from scratch having it being available direcrly from Linutil would make it easier to switch.

For Debian it should be:

NVidia proprietary drivers,

/etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf 
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "IgnoreABI" "1"
EndSection

Non Nvidia:

sudo apt install extrepo
sudo extrepo enable xlibre
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xlibre
reboot
