It’s just a proposal anybody can open and it will very likely not be passed. Also the maintainer of XLibre is an alt-right douchebag.
The guy gives a ton of “I don’t care about anyone’s use cases except mines” vibes too. Also called Gnome and KDE teletubbies DEs when I mentioned xcomposite being an important feature. Basically considering the widely known issues around multimonitor vsync and mismatched resolutions and all as basically not real issues with Xorg.
XLibre is 100% a political fork because the guy claims Xorg is deprecated by a big tech conspiracy pushing inferior software onto users. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to continue Xorg’s legacy but come on we don’t have to pretend Xorg is this perfect thing that always works. Xorg has been hated for decades for a reason. This xkcd exists for a reason: https://xkcd.com/963/
This. It’s also hilarious and sad that the community around XLibre is trying to “keep politics out of FOSS” while supporting a clearly political fork.
EDIT: Also see my issue as a prime example.
Unironically ending your Github comment with a Bible reference has to be the weirdest thing I have seen on Github, and I have seen some weird comments.
My own personal example: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/s/8FM1ZvXi68
It just doesn’t look great nor serious nor welcoming.
OMG, his recent comments are all the same claiming he’s the great Xorg contributor and he knows it better. Embarrassing.
I finally have the ability to disable Middle Click to Paste, thanks to Wayland.
And I can have that settings per-pointing device, thanks to KDE.And although I now have to worry about looking for a Keypress Displaying OSD, at least I need not worry about something like Discord, logging all my passwords (although I just stopped using discord to fix that).
If the Change Owner gets through with this, I will put Fedora on the ban list.
If they go through with this I’ll switch to Hannah Montana Linux.
