@mrmasterkeyboard sounds like some folks who don't want to admit #Xorg is dead and #Wayland is the way to move forward.

- Kinda like folks stubbornly opposing #SystemD for no good reason.

@kkarhan Basically, it’s just:
“Fuck you, let’s keep something completely outdated alive.”
On my main machine I use X11 as screensharing works but on Wayland it doesn’t. (It’s Gentoo, probably my fault why it doesn’t work.) I use Wayland elsewhere and it’s fine.
A lot of people I follow support XLibre which is concerning because of these:
“Together we'll make X great again!”, it’s anti-DEI stance and their whole thing against big tech… hosted on GitHub, owned by M$.

@kkarhan and I assume the creator of XLibre is making up a conspiracy just to gain attention to the project claiming it’s not that people are adopting Wayland because it’s better but instead it’s because “big tech moles” are trying to defund and extinguish activity on XOrg.
Seriously, this is stupid. The creator had to have done something to violate the rules of the FreeDesktop Git to get purged, not just because he started XLibre and he’s covered it up.

@kkarhan The creator of XLibre is not a great person and had bad faith intentions in the past, in one instance spreading anti-vax information (or at least vax misinformation) to the LKML in 2021 which got a response from Linus.

If anything, this is the last person ANYONE should trust to be in control of an XOrg revival let alone a person to be trusted. Wayland is the way forward and people need to stop supporting XLibre because XOrg is dead anyways.

@mrmasterkeyboard also his fork only got yeeted from the freedesktop.org git because he continued to be a painful asshole to them and literally flexed his audience against them.
- Which already disqualifies him and XLibre from any discussions, because it's one thing to have diverging opinions and interests" vs.* forcing said site to close registrations and setup DDoS mitigations*…

@kkarhan not to mention the tons of regressions he somehow added to XOrg which delayed releases iirc.
Like, how do you make XOrg worse than it already is…
