Rusty X11 Rival: yserver Aims to Replace Xorg with a Leaner Rust Display Server
yserver is a Rust-written display server that positions itself as a leaner alternative to Xorg. It uses Vulkan and targets relatively modern hardware, and on Linux it can run full desktops (e.g., MATE, Cinnamon, XFCE) via DRM/KMS and can be used with Xwayland or Xorg; however, it cannot launch multiple screens yet, so multi-monitor support is incomplete and it isn’t a full Xorg replacement. FreeBSD is a secondary target per docs. It has been tested with the X.Org X Test Suite, scoring 66.2%, suggesting early-stage viability and introducing competition in the ongoing Wayland/X11 landscape.
