This dude is definitely into some hysterical right wing conspiracies. I remember he got yelled at by Linus Torvalds on the LKML for trying to spread anti-vax bs.

I always find it ironic how people like this non-stop whine about "politics in mah FOSS" or video games or w/e, but will turn around and write a manifesto in the README drenched in right wing politically charged slop.

ultimately I really don't care what they spend their time doing, some people still want X11 and if they can keep it running then good for them. I use Wayland because it looks a lot better and is a lot smoother. Its that simple.



Oh this link is gold, thanks :) Alread the completely unrelated mention of DEI on the reasoning for a fork, that's supposedly about doing big changes that are suppressed on the original project, is a pretty damning sign. Knowing he is also an anti-vaxxer nut-job says everything you need to know about his judgement. Sure the fork isn't "medical" or otherwise related to vaccines, but at least adequate judgement is needed for anything.


> I use Wayland because it looks a lot better

Sorry but, what? Wayland doesn't have any concept of a "look" that I'm aware of, so how would one tell the difference?


Wayland is a lot smoothet than X. The colors are better too and there's just something about how the pixels are rendered that looks a million times better. It becomes apparent after using Wayland and then going back to X.
