@thendrix @sun @icedquinn @jeff @dirb @mangeurdenuage The XFREE86 part of Xorg is not something one single inexperienced developer can tackle. The whole thing including parts of X11 is without exaggeration an architectural catastrophe, XFREE86 is and always will be absolute technological garbage, the fact that it works as we as it does currently is short of a miracle.
The problem with Enrico (the owner of xlibre fork) is that he hasn't proven anything he claims, most of the changes he made are reasonably questionable and yes he is a chud and infuriated the RH trannies, the kernel trannies and the Gnome trannies, he's made a lot of trannies angry, and in FOSS you do not make the trannies angry if you can't deliver. Enrico has been acting like an idiot if he thinks dropping red pils on people who are political lunatics and slaves in a corporation that forces them to be politically correct is helping anybody, he should shut up with the politics, not because I believe he is wrong or anything, but because the crazies love activism and he is painting a target on his back and on the project.
Issue with wayland is that it fixes some problems while creating many others because it is a protocol when what we need is a fucking replacement for XFREE86 and to make things worse both Gnome and Nvidia have been actively sabotaging the project for years.
What is going to happen is that (unless a miracle, don't count on it) for the next 10 years if you need a full feature Linux desktop you're stuck with obsolete abandonware quirky XOrg or a myriad of forever unfinished and buggy wayland compositors.
