You could fork it. X11 hasn't shipped a major release since 2005, the likelihood of a complete overhaul making it upstream was slim to none even in 2009. X11 developers were better-off focusing on stability, and the Wayland devs moved on. There was no conspiracy to kill either project.
- ablob 11mo agoForking a project when the issue is that half of the staff left the project does nothing to alleviate the staffing issue, does it?
- pjmlp 11mo agoIsn't that the greatness of FOSS over commercial software that keeps being spoken about?
- cycomanic 11mo agoSo what is it, in one comment you say there were plenty of x11 devs who objected to wayland (please name and show the posts) and on the other hand you say there were not enough to keep an xorg fork going? People are arguing that fixing the issues in X11 would have been much easier and less work than making wayland. So why could those half of x11 developers who left make wayland while the other half that was left over could not even make one release?
