Defo something I didn't have on my map for 2025: fascists and conspiracy nutjobs "rescuing" from the woke virus...

    I haven't obsessed this much with my desktop since I was .. much younger. Trying to make it functional and purrty on 30 year old hardware is challenging but fun. Thanks to and the fact that most old X and tools are still around and do all the things they always did - and haven't bloated much in those 30 years - helps a lot.

    I'll take Wayland when it comes my way without me having to lift a finger, but until then I'm glad the X Window System is still around. Keeps this old hardware useful.

      @musicman @bamboombibbitybop @mwl Reading it again this morning, "make X great again" should have been sufficient clue.

        @mwl The announcement I read sounded angry. The person who wrote it might have some valid points but the tone put me off. Is it better for a project to start with a team of people and perhaps a more considered tone?

          ｢ Nia Alarie with the NetBSD project published a status re on the graphics support. NetBSD maintains theirOrg stack as a somewhat fork of the X.Org codebases including with their own BSD makefile build system use, their "xsrc" repository that is a regularly-updated fork of the upstream X.Org code, and various X.Org DDX driver differences ｣
