@jeff@sun@mangeurdenuage@icedquinn@thendrix@dirb Of course, silly me Gnome is all forgiven now because somebody on the inter-webs is accusing somebody of something completely unrelated to the discussion.
I wish Enrico the best, but I don't think he'd be able to do anything truly meaningful with "xlibre" He's not going to be able to change XFREE86 without breaking lots of things all over the place, it is that kind of mess, check what happened when the dpi was innocently changed.
Believe it or not, Linux's destkop and wayland's only hope is that something like Cosmic desktop destroys Gnome once and for all.
Not because I believe System76 is doing things perfectly or their plan being the best... but because for once they are someone doing something mentally SANE, do not miss the detail that they also made a lot of trannies angry but rather than painting a target they are focusing on delivering something rather than making a fuss at every step of the way.
@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.
@cowanon@KidKnievel >>In fact, I suspect the rampant "hitler was right" posting all over social media right now is being allowed just for something the ADL can point a quivering finger at while they sputter "see? you see? they're right about to build the death camps again, we gotta stop them and stop them now, now, right now!"
