Oh wow xlibre was shit from the very beginning who could have predicted this? Super unexpected!
Reading the linked forum thread is a gift, so many crazy peope at the same place that accuse each other being DEI hires and lefties, but this is a gem:
So exactly the reason why wayland happened.
Here you go. Now you can just do
export THING=literally_any_piece_of_software_on_earth_you_want_to_complain_aboutand just reuse the template xDI was gonna say, this sounds like a lot of SaaS I’ve supported
I am pretty sure this is just bait posted by someone from 4chan.
May I have some context? Too far outside of Linux to recognize who these people are (and usually assume "libre" usually means "good")
XLibre is a Xorg fork by an apolitical software developer who got kicked of the Xorg team for introducing too many improvements to the Xorg code base.
Ah! Another round of "drama!".
And the fun with neovim over the past day. I wonder if they use XLibre or Omarchy lol
you had me until I followed the link. the readme when xlibre was forked is a very reasonable, apolitical take and didn't have me immediately write it off.
I really don't understand the wayland issues. I get it didn't or doesn't have some features of X but that's how everything goes.
Sure, proudly claiming that your project is DEI free is just apolitical. Is anyone else hearing this high pitched noise?
Wayland was rough a few years ago and people who tried it then before switching back to X11 think it's still the same.
The Wayland devs have been hard at work hammering out all the edge cases and getting Nvidia's drivers working properly, so a lot of stuff that didn't work in 2022 or took effort to set up works out of the box now.
Apolitical people doing apolitical stuff, I guess.
