We can both kill Xorg and keep it alive better than you!



the maliciousness is just so uncalled for and a TOTAL waste of time.  Just fork it and put it all in the rearview mirror, if you have the talent and you want to do this.  I think artix is doing a fair job on this and I am a bit surprised we didn't get any press thus far on the efforts by Artist to just make a working libreX version. 

It take 40 years of head banging but it is just not needed to turn your insides upside down for this bullshit.

There are real wars and suffering going on in the world.  Why add to ones suffering over a stupid piece of software when the solution is at hand and the bluster is meaningless in the real world.

On that note, I have to go vote for NYC Mayor... I have a choice between a delusional homicidal maniac  and a candidate that wants me dead for theological reasons.  The joys of living.

Then a lot of threads in the forum are a TOTAL waste of time why are you replying?
People talking about software instead of wars in a thread about software, that's strange.

I find somewhat funny that contradiction.

Wait a minute... If Xorg is dead and they killed it, but Xorg is trans... oh no no no...

Oh - as an intelligent person could ascertain from the language I used, it was to point out that instead of engaging in worthless prattle and fighting, artix was doing and excellent job of applying resources to a worthwhile fork.  It was to compliment the effort of the Artix development team.

Does that clarify what I wrote?

It's about time Xorg got forked. For too long, X11 was used as a scapegoat for all of Wayland's copes. "It's old and unmaintained, let's abandon it!"

Cannot wait to finally try it out on a live system... Will give it some time to rough out the edges. I'm liking it a lot already with the author being completely anti-DEI and pro-meritocracy. That's what software should be about.

Wayland is the exact same infection as Systemd from ten years ago, only it seeks to cripple the Linux desktop experience by restricting basic things like screen readers, clipboards, and other essential modern computing tools in the name of "security".

It's already difficult to use a desktop environment without Polkit or Elogind, and impossible without D-Bus. Why taint even more with the Freedesktop.org crapware?

I just want to nip this in the bud before we go through another round of mud slinging.  It is enough that we are getting a solid and maintained piece of free software.  Lets leave the ancillary politics out of this.

This is not the first time a new users 'first post' has gone downhill like this. Someone is trolling the forum.

yeah - I am sure the moderators are aware.
