#xlibre

the following are genuine claims made by XLibre fans i have encountered

claim: "It's not untested, it's a fork of X11!"

response: i'm not an experienced developer, but i'm fairly sure that isn't how that works once the fork has made changes (which XLibre has), when you fork and make changes to a repo, the onus lies upon you as the maintainer to test your own damn repo

claim: "XLibre isn't DEI like X11, and thus superior!"

response: you are a fool

claim: "Fedora is gonna adopt XLibre!"

repsonse: no they aren't, what you are thinking of is a proposal, any moron with a Fedora Wiki account can submit a proposal, and the politics of the maintainer, the recency of the project's creation, the lack of any significant number of actual meaningful changes at this time, and the fact that the proposal jumps the gun directly to replacing Xorg as soon as possible all make it highly unlikely that this proposal will be accepted any time soon

claim: "Red Hat is paying freedesktop.org to kill X11!"

response: do you also believe that the earth is flat? i've seen about as much credible evidence for that conspiracy theory as there is for yours

XLibre is maintained by a paranoid moron who thinks that IBM is personally out to get him specifically, and that DEI is one of the roots of freedesktop's problems, i have zero respect for Enrico whatsoever, he is more interested in weaponising Xorg for the sake of his own ego, yelling about the DEI monster in his closet, and getting yelled at by Torvalds for spreading anti-science bullshit on the LKML than actually getting anything done
