We're finally making Wayland decent with this one!

Seriously though, very good news. Help from a rather nice billion dollar company is very welcome.

Help

Who is helped by forking a community project to build a company-specific project?

  1. Afaik Wayland has absolutely ridiculous requirements for new features.

  2. You can backport stuff to mainstream if the maintainers allow it.

Then my answer is yes.

You're not making sense.

Dickheads. Investing in another ROCM-like project instead of just working upstream.

AMD, you're going in the wrong direction!
