No, thank you. While I said I don't mind what political color developers have, I don't go as far as subjecting myself to idiocy and conspiracy theories. People who listen to this kind of dudes have no standing to express any kind of opinion that is worth listening to.
Whoa! dude! IMHO, You starting to sound like a "Tolerant" extreme leftist!
You sound like a brain-dead person. Not sure how you can type.

Let's all pull back and take a breather before the thread is locked, shall we?

Frankly I don't think now is the time to pass judgment (either way) on the viability and quality of the fork.

Maybe the fork will be great despite the dev's personal beliefs. Maybe it won't. We'll have to wait and see.

But for now, Xorg is still needed for xfce and fluxbox (and from what I've read, quite a lot of other use cases) and I doubt it's going to be removed from Debian in the near future.

MX focuses on stable, not experimental, stuff, and XLibre relates to such a core part of an operating system that I don't see MX as a focal point of development for this.

Let's see how things stand in a year.

Could we please dial it down and get back on topic. :toast:
This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

You were the first one calling names and insulting people you don't even know, so I don't think you even know what tolerance is in the first place! It is so bad your parents didn't do a good job of raising a good citizen for the world, I don't have time to be loosing on people like you, the hell, maybe your parents tought the same way as i do now!
