Xquartz 2.7.7 __link__ Instant
DISPLAY=:0 xdpyinfo | grep "X.Org version" | Problem | Solution | |-------------|---------------| | “cannot open display: :0” | Restart launchd: launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macosforge.xquartz.plist then load again. | | Clipboard stops syncing | Kill xpbproxy process – it will respawn. | | Slow OpenGL rendering | Disable “Indirect GLX” in XQuartz Preferences → Security. | 9. Conclusion XQuartz 2.7.7 is a reliable workhorse for legacy macOS environments. However, it is outdated. If your OS allows, migrate to 2.8.x or switch to native macOS alternatives (e.g., Wayland via MacPorts, or use SSH with X forwarding from a Linux host).

Love Breevy. Love. But, the team at 16software has been missing in action for many many years. All attempts to reach anyone there is futile. the last suport post in their forums is from 2015. One needs to know what you are getting into if you use Breevy cause it has been on auto pilot for many years.
I’ll add, it is a Windows only product and the Mac keyboard at the top hints otherwise.
Breevy still rocks but there does not appear to be a company behind it and there hasn’t been in years.

These are all really valid points. The “team” is actually one person – Patrick – at 16Software. The last version of Breevy was released in 2016 and it is still solid, but I think Kevin’s points are well worth taking into account before deciding to use the software.
