<spit-take> That's not "way back"!

#old #OldManYellsAtCloud #WindowsXP #Windows #EMachines #WayBack

wrapped up my talk about #wayback at @XOrgDevConf about an hour ago.

i think i’ve accomplished my goal with it: to spark a conversation on how to get the missing pieces filled in. in the Q&A a few interesting paths were identified to investigate, hopefully the hallway conversations will be similarly insightful.

my dream is to be able to come back next year and say that legacy X has been fully superseded by wayback. i feel like we are close to solving the puzzle.

@XLibreDev @antijingoist @resingm well, I've read enough drama re: this whole ordeal.

Or to put it in simple terms:

  • "Please, fork off!"

As shitty as it may seem, #Xorg is 'on live support' (like a braindead organ donor) and #Xlibre won't change the fact that the course of #Wayland is locked in.

OFC people have the right to build their own Wayland & #SystemD-free #Linux or #Unix-esque distro.

  • I just don't see anyone wanting to build drivers for at best 1% of Desktops and nieche Distros not following #LSB conventions.

Instead I'm convinced #Wayback by @ariadne will be the solution for the problem when it comes to #X11 applications & desktops that don't work on #Xwayland!

@claudiom I love this -- I know the folks over on the #wayback project (this is such a shit name, given its obvious connection to archive.org) use it for testing...
#Wayback is bullshit because it is based on the idea that you need #Wayland in place. #Xorg just works and does not need a layer of Wayland between it and everything else.
