Xlibre is run by a very unstable and shitty person. Pass. Just let xserver die
Not as long as possible replacements aren't platform-independent.
The Change proposal has been withdrawn by the author: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f43-change-proposal-x11libre-system-wide/156330/57
From what I understand, xorg has fundamental security flaws. How will they remedy this?
Why stick with a dead standard when the rest of the FOSS world has moved on?
What happens when the Linux kernel drops support for xorg? Do they intend to fork an older version of the kernel in order to keep support?
The only way to fix Xorg is to break org. It requires a redesign.
The Xorg devs chose to do that by starting a separate project. The breakage has been in Wayland, now maturing, while Xorg was left stable. Xlibre wants bring this disruption to the X codebase itself.
While that's true, but the main issue here is the unavailability of frequent security patches that Fedora now appears to be attempting to solve with X11Libre.
Not even an apology to Enrico first... Fucking Red Rats
I'll refer you to someone that covered all this better than I could: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/21003452
Yeah, I love to see people being called "racist" over not liking corporate facades, or "neo nazi" over referencing a clown. Always very productive.
There's a simple solution to this: if Red Hat doesn't like the guy or his code, don't fucking use it. They're the ones who banned him from Xorg and reverted his changes.
Actually, why do I expect a corpo to be morally or ideologically consistent? Silly me...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
