If its a choice between xlibre and wayland, I would choose xlibre probably.

Wayland is a mess and I have a feeling it has some secret problems that redhat hasn't mentioned deliberately

@all You're very welcome, and thank you for choosing XLibre, installing and testing it! We at XLibre are currently working on upstreaming the seatd support in https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/issues/202 so XLibre can one day be officially included in Devuan.

I've patched XLibre to support seatd management:
