the whole spec list and image was probably an ai prompt output

Its not like they're blocking all contributions, if it was more than niche, they wouldnt ignore the needs of other big players. I'm not fully across it, but the BSDs still make more use of xorg and maintain their own trees IIRC.

I really only saw headlines about Xlibre, hadnt followed up on it

The way they promoted PulseAudio, SystemD, Gnome 3, now Wayland. All that.

I agree Gnome 3+ is bad, but we do need modern components and honestly when the next biggest player in these things in Canonical with there NIH / throw it over the fence and like it attitude, I know which I'd prefer. Especially when these components truly are upstream projects, and they do indeed take community contributions.

almost no development of Xorg, but they don’t surrender the control of the project to someone who’d want to.

Yeah the xorg thing is shit for those that feel they still need it, but no one else really had the resources to maintain it. Its critical infrstructure, they can't just hand it off until they're done with it (RH10). Xlibre is happening by one of the biggest community contributors, but honestly it'll end up like KwinFT.

combine this with suicide linux, if the LLM gives back shit (which it will) destruction is assured

I refuse to use Fedora (because it’s basically their testing bed)

interesting take

RedHat also does work to sink projects which don’t fit their strategy for Linux development

I'm interested in any examples you can provide of this

Free WiFi only if you are a Telstra customer for your home broadband

Last I checked it didnt play very nicely in real hardware, and required running it in a VM

the one with the dog (poodle?)

Freaked out and small, their 3rd album. It was funded by some internet music company in the napster music boom era. IIRC the band had effectively broken up at that point but came back for this internet money. The company went bust and only got a traditional release later.

what a bizare take to suggest hoping for ReactOS to mature before using Linux as daily driver. A lot of the current reactOS app compatibility depends on WINE implementation anyway.

take it up with software patents I guess
