Sam Bent, 8 months ago (at this time), covered XLibre, which is essentially a fork of XOrg that wants to clean up the codebase, modernize it, and fix the security holes that lasted for years on XOrg.
Meetux, the developer, became persona-non-Grata in FreeDesktop, IBM, RedHat, and possible GNOME circles, simply because he wanted to fix Xorg so people have an option on what they want to use.
It’s also why I won’t kowtow to IBM, GNOME, and FDO’s demands, due to technical merit being moot.
That’s not the point I’m trying to make. Did you read the bottom line, where I talked about technical merit, not political merit? Being apolitical (neutral) is actually the best you can do for something like this.
Come on! Think before writing!
“This piece of shit is so good technically that you can close both eyes on how he’s a piece of shit”
I will never work, collaborate or hire someone like that. It’s not for nothing in recrutement we have Technical + Human assessment on the candidates. Because BOTH matters.
Pushing the “apolitical” narrative is just how to lower your values and it’s a NOGO for decent people.
What you’re doing is calling for me to choose a side, instead of being neutral. I’m going based upon technical merit, not so much political merit. I don’t even care for politics that much, considering I’ve been neutral on Lemmy.
Ok, so what did xlibre achieve then? Is multi-monitor with mixed refreshrates + vrr a thing yet?
As far as I’m aware, that was already a thing somewhat with XOrg. It may have been in alpha state, but it was something. Wayland is more broken with it from what I’ve read on the issue.
Paraquoting an adjudicated (means guilty) rapist, 34 time convicted felon is hardly being noncommittal.
