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.
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.
If you don’t care about politics then you care only about yourself.
And what is the technical merit in question? “Everything we didn’t change works the same”?
Could you elaborate on XLibre’s technical merit over Xorg?
