Xorg has been Forked! [Solved]

[rambo919]

I think it's not so much irony as rank cognitive dissonance especially because it was stupidly (and angrily) politicized.

There are many parallels with the two saga's.... but this time it's more an issue of wayland still having too many drawbacks in comparison for too many people. This is going to cause a lot of negative disruption if it actually goes through unless everyone being pressured to adapt their packages actually manage to do so.... I am talking large numbers of packages simply being deprecated because they cannot function in any way on wayland leaving open voids where they used to be.

I don't think the capture effort with wayland will be as successful as it was with systemd even though a lot of lets call them corporate overlords think it will. Probably because their main interests are on the server side and they don't understand desktop needs. This is going to be a repeat of "well if it only works on windows stay on windows" but what happens if "stay on xorg" stops being feasible? It will cause people to revert from Linux back to Windows. Could become a hell of a circus.
