On the contrary, they've all done one switch already, about a decade before systemd came along in the Linux-based world.

#NetBSD pioneered a major switch in rc at the turn of the century, with Mewburn rc, which #FreeBSD followed two years later. #OpenBSD has a similar, but incompatible, system that it switched to.

In further contrast, OpenBSD has run with #Xenocara.

#rc

I might someday understand you, Wayland zealots, but till then you'll go thru this backlog & fix everything from there (plus screensavers) and get it working also on BSDs, else STFU, stop shoving this ridicule & redhat idea to ordinary ppl and get your incompatible crap buried.

#X11 #unix #openbsd #xenocara #devuan

P.S. also, systemd crowd (from same redhat club) seems really is culturally incompatible with Unix.

@requiem I'm _very_ interested in testing the new VAAPI support in #OpenBSD -current's #Xenocara (#X11) and various packages (which I think are starting to land in snapshots package repos at this point. That _should_ help with overall battery life on laptops when playing video.

@sourcerer@bsd.cafe @smxi @vermaden @xfce Beyond the recent post to ports@ regarding #Wayland by Theo de Raadt that you already linked to, this is a good overview from earlier this year:

https://xenocara.org/Wayland_on_OpenBSD.html

(You may already be aware, but #xenocara is #OpenBSD's fork of #X11 and they try to keep it in sync and upstream as much as possible.)

@RL_Dane @royal @spaceraser @ianthetechie It's not just a name change, however; #xenocara enforces privilege separation and drops privileges. #xorg will just eat your soul.

@kint @royal @spaceraser @ianthetechie

You're right, it's called #Xenocara in #OpenBSD. :D
