this has been marked as a duplicate before, but it's not. other articles are talking about the Xlibre project it's potential, etc.
this article talks about the effect of the fork on Xorg itself. which is a very different topic, and one that is worth talking about.
for example i remember the fork of GCC and how it affected its development processes. unlike GCC i doubt that Xlibre will be merged back, but it has an influence on Xorg nonetheless. what are your thoughts?
Was hoping this would go by unnoticed.
This dude is a hopeless weirdo, who mindlessly refactors for no real reason, and breaks stuff.
The insane conspiracy minded anti-big tech aspect is deeply disturbing. Replying to some of the most respectable food hard working nice people on the planet who have carried huge X subsystems forward for decades with love and care with just frothing madness. There aren't words for the scorn this insanity & batshit deserve.
This comment and first reply have some solid other discussion. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44303328
I frelling love the reg, love me a good rag. It was intensely intensely disappointing to see they carrying so much water for this deeply problematic antisocial troublemaker.

The X.Org Server just got forked (announcing XLibre)
from phoronix:
that seems significant, I wonder why xorg hasn't implemented something like it so far.
