It’ll be a better place when Wayland (and by extension Gnome/KDE) stops becoming a cargo cult hell bent on destroying X11/Xlibre.

- bayindirh 4mo agoX11 is not dying because of Wayland, it's dying because it became an unmaintainable code mountain over the years since it has been tried to be converted to something which is not designed for in the first place. ...and I'm saying that as a person who likes X11.
- LtWorf 4mo agoThere is a maintained fork of Xorg that is banned by several distributions.
- chadgpt3 4mo agoThat's Xorg. X11 is dying because Xorg is dying and Xorg is dying because all its developers quit and went to Wayland. There's Xlibre too but it's a shitshow. Any one of us here could continue Xorg maintenance but we're not.
- MarsIronPI 4mo agoI think Phoenix[0] is a promising project: it's an X11 server written from the ground up, with security and legacy feature removal in mind. It's basically what Wayland should have been IMO. We didn't need a new protocol, at most we needed a new implementation of X11. https://git.dec05eba.com/phoenix https://git.dec05eba.com/phoenix
