@aleteoryx I think that the move re: #wayland is due to the same reasons moving away from #SysVinit was at worst a "necessary evil"

  • If sysVinit was fine, @pid_eins would not have started #SystemD (which is basically a reimplementation of #LaunchD for #Linux).
  • If #Xorg was fine noone would've started working on Wayland.
    • Also #Xlibre's head maintainer / project lead is just a horrible person who's words and actions burned any goodwill amidst the originally legitimate issues beforehand.
@trashheap regardless of the toxic folks behind #Xlibre, there is new hardware without #Xorg support!
@XLibreDev @devuan #alpinelinux #voidlinux #artixlinux all run inits that are not systemd. #xlibre available on all (hoping official packages appear sometime)
We'd like to dedicate today's #LiberatedScreens to @devuan & Co. After systemd recently merged infrastructure code for age verification and locked discussions afterward, some of you may want to consider init freedom. Please see https://www.devuan.org/os/init-freedom for your options. #XLibre

#GNOME 50 is scheduled for Mar 18, completely removing #X11 support. The once widespread DE is now systemd-only and Wayland-only. If you doubt that "GNOME knows best" and like to stay on X11, we have a section "Desktop Environments" on our "Are We XLibre Yet?" page.

@siina the nice part with #systemD is that you have the flexibility to add or remove things.

  • It's closer to a "suite" rather than one fat binary (unlike #emacs!).
    • Obviously the partsbdo integrate well with each other…

But #systemd, like #Steam, didn't win because they are excellent, but because competition either doesn't exist or is kinda incompetent to a degree…

  • Same with #Xorg: #Wayland is the most mature option and #Xlibre is run by some absolutely abrasive person destroying any goodwill and legitimate argument the once had with their words and actions.

Another user switched to #XLibre: "Finally took the dive and just installed on my desktop running #VoidLinux a few hours ago. Love it so far! … #Xorg had some glitchy problem with my old GPU, which seems to be liberated now."

@rootsandcalluses not at all but hard to know how much knowledge someone has. CLI rules ;-)

Decryption can be done on the CLI too.

#alpinelinux and #zfs running #i3wm on #xlibre this end.

hot take, I feel xorg is here to stay despite its supposed technical flaws. i don't buy the propoganda that FDO is trying to "kill" it. they still maintain it, albeit with no new features, plenty of projects such as xenocara work with them and upstream fixes as need be. also, x11 is pretty dang featureful as it is tbh. besides, that enrico weigelt guy is certainly not "saving" anything considering his development track record.

The release of #GhostBSD 26.1 with #XLibre is approaching.

Together, we fixed a bug in the X configuration. Now we're looking for testers of the latest ISO https://ci.ghostbsd.org/jenkins/job/stable-15/job/Build%20ISO%20For%20Testing%20Packages in VMware, KVM, and bhyve. Please report the results back at https://forums.ghostbsd.org/d/796-ghostbsd-261-r150p2-testing-help-needed/7.
