You don't get to own Xorg. It belongs to the X.org foundation and community.X.org literary hosts and runs Wayland and WestonXorg is dead and we killed it. And nobody regrets it.

@vulonkaaz @alatiera Later improvements should be released under the GPLv3-or-later tbh.

@alatiera X11 lives and will keep living so long free software enjoyers want to.Go fuck yourself with a garden hose, or go suck some corporate dick, whichever suits you better.

@PurpCat @Suiseiseki @alatiera @vulonkaaz this is so funny to see because distros or software can just deprecate x11 support and make it hard to patch it back and boom, that's it

@mischievoustomato @PurpCat @alatiera @vulonkaaz Proprietary distro's have tried to force systemd, dbus and pulseaudio, but they have not and will not succeed.Wayland to xorg translation layer soon like apulse.

@shakil_tcs @PurpCat @alatiera @mischievoustomato @vulonkaaz Pluseaudio is an extra point of failure and poetteringware and straight ALSA is much better.dbus should be IPC that just works, but it's always broken in some way and the interface is so bad it's not recommended that you use it directly.

@alatiera Nobody would regret if I killed you in real life, either.

To elaborate on this.Xorg is dead, not abandoned. It still receives the attention of maintainers. It's goal has changed to now be as reliable as possible and to fix incoming CVEs.To pretend you rebooting Xorg or you are a maintainer is outright disrespectful to all the existing Xorg contributors, maintainers and their wishes.Comparisons to Keith Packard and XFree86 are especially vomit inducing.It works wonderfully though as a reactionary honeypot. Thank you for that.

Imagine the unbelievable circumstances that had to take place for an entire community of 100 or so developers across the whole stack, to agree that x11 is a dead end and nobody be willing to ever touch it again regardless the stake they have in it.
