>>106201012 (OP)
sounds based. Maybe I'll even start using linux if they revive x11.

I support Xlibre but we also should support Hyperland because they have the potential to break the freedesktop bikesheding olympics by implementing their own incompatible wayland thigs that would get defacto standard by just the mere masses using it

Nice fantasy but your fork will stay on irrelevant distros only.

All it took for your three neurons to understand it was to ask Claude to summarize. Yet you can't even do that.

Get ready, non-woke software is going to take over your OS.

>>106201186
More like "let's be silent till raging xtards go away to their protest forks then drop xorg".
It's like systemd all over again, the hype is dying down. Good luck with maintaining software with 1000 users for free.

>>106201369
SysVinit works great on my machine.

>>106201369
this time is different systemd is all managing system wayland is a delegating system, for you to write lets say a bar you need to do it per compositor so basically redo code for 10 different compositors and their internal way of for example listing desktops.
In X11 we have EWMH and its mostly applied on all remaining window managers

protestfork sisters I don't feel so good...

>>106201579
sysvinit is old, systemd was made to replace it but went on to become the bloated and disgusting mess that it is today, devuan and artix were made to ensure innit freedom, it all comes together in the final act since there are better and simple alternatives.
i think xlibre should be welcomed, it was embraced already and it can represent the life and sustainability of x11 dependent stuff into the future, also a competition to wayland, ensuring no lock in.

>>106201512
hahahahahaha oh wow

Is Xlibre even functional yet or is it a massive regression? I haven't followed meme forks of stuff because they usually fail like the ffmpeg/avconv nonsense 10 years ago.

I went back to windows. Open sores is cancer, as Ballmer said. Imagine thinking living in systemd/guhnome/wayland (can you even use your HDR monitors yet?) land is better than the OS that was made to handle all hardware.

>>>/pol/

this whole thing is ridiculous and an embarrassment to our community.

>>106201512
lmao. xlibre will soon be even more unsafe than xorg

>>106201915
yes, wayland supports hdr unlike x11.

It was proposed(free to propose), but was more like to provoke RH and rage over it.
>>106201676
>Artix sems on par with Arch based upon distro watch
It's only because opening the standard browser on Artix upon install will open all distro watch and other Artix boosting links
It's not good to do t b h, but still i appreciate their effort on Artix and understand they do what they can to survive and increase their numbers.
>>106201888
Apparently regression on nvidia, but works much better on mesa than before.
>>106201579
Don't need to be most popular to be better alternative. To be most popular you need to tip your toes into shit with foundations, conferences, and all politics that come from that. And all that will only invite troglodytes into your community, though with massive payment benefits.

>>106201012 (OP)
Why couldn't that fag shut up about DEI and politics? Nobody would even have any problem with it, and it would make Red Hat seethe much harder because people would be adopting it

isn't that a compliment at this point now that the numbers have proven antivaxxers right?

>>106202500
I stopped using Debian after it went anti-white. I stopped using GNOME as soon as I learnt about the CoC.

I switched to OpenMandriva because I am here for the technical stuff, not the DEI.

Being against DEI isn't fascism, it's technical merit over identity politics.

>>106203830
Avoiding people who hold political positions you don't like is very political, shut up.

>>106203836
Where did I say it wasn't political? Everything is political.

I don't like double-standards and a foot DE telling me it's ok to be opressed as a white straight man simply because in their belief system I'm the one holding the "privilege".

So I make the political decision of chosing a distro which doesn't see hatred towards my kind as legitimate.

>>106201369
Wayland is not comparable to systemd. Systemd had basically no effect on the typical user. I am pretty sure a significant portion of people have no idea what it even does. Wayland on the other hand fundamentally changes how a central part of the computer works.

>>106203929
>I'm developing software by screaming DEI DEI DEI
just go back to r/the_donald

Fellas, I got reason to believe Waylanders are sabotaging X right now by introducing subtle bugs in programs and refusing to fix them, like a copy paste issue crashing Krita on X, but working fine on Wayland.

>>106204065
>Systemd had basically no effect on the typical user
Same goes for Wayland, just like systemd it runs in the background and typical user doesn't know about it unless something breaks. I tried switching between xorg and wayland on few debian instances and couldn't tell a difference.

Why is that? One would think it'd be more popular since it's the most normie friendly base distro (Ubuntu) with the most normie friendly DE (Plasma, by virtue of being similar to Windows).
