  • Two things, one as previously mentioned the codebase is a mess and even the best developers working on x11 tend to introduce regressions (the xlibre dev isn’t so this is amplified). Second it absolutely is a conspiracy because red hat did everything in the power to save x11 until eventually they just kept using it (tbh it needed to be replaced two decades ago). As for your last point linux won’t have a future if its aggressively held back by an army of enthusiasts who demand things never change and fragmented until software support is non-existent.


  • If we ignore the deeply disturbing political views of the Creator the entire project is meant to be a statement. There’s a conspiracy theory that there was a grand plot to kill x11 by red hat and xlibre is built upon the idea that red hat was holding it back. This completely ignores the real issues that the codebase was pure spaghetti.








  • Shockingly MacOS now supports hardware thats almost as old as the hardware Windows 11 25H2 supports. Now the requirements on the Windows side are Intel 8th Gen or newer or AMD Ryzen 2000 or newer (with some snapdragon chips thrown in there), meanwhile MacOS still supports the M1 which is at this point almost six years old.

    (unless this is a refrence to how Apple used to charge for updates which they havent done for a very long time)
