Looks like for now XFCE, MATE, Cinnomin and LXQt are safe as far as X11 support stands. Also your smaller niche window managers like Fluxbox, Openbox, i3 and friends are still all good for X11. Though some tiling window managers like i3 have separate wayland projects.

Being a invested in using Xlibre as I am and given events. I'm glad to see at least XFCE isn't giving up on X11. True they are making a Rust based wayland compositor, but I see nothing saying that X11 will be dropped. Therefore for now my desktop of choice continues to be XFCE.

You should totally not buy a copy of space rock breaker. https://t.co/ILYGFwbTr8 Its Ateroids meets plinko and loot boxes. For 3 bucks it is a mountain of fun.

So xfce is going to go Wayland okay. They could have done it without becoming memebers of the church of Rust though. I do open they don't ditch X11. Replacing battle tested code with new Rust stuff is fad that should be approached with more common sense. Also not achieving
The XFCE Desktop Environment is writing a brand new Wayland compositor… in Rust. XFCE says they plan to spend a “significant portion of the project’s donated funds” on this task. With the goal of this new, Rust-based Wayland backend being to offer “the same functionality and

So I love AI. Especially since I get to plug Grok into my monitoring system and take myself out of the equation. Let something else take a stab at fixing things on my network work first. Of course then if it fails light my phone up and I can hit it.

100 % adulterated open source weapons grade stupidity. It's just so utterly insane and illogical. Definitely a reason I will only use xlibre going forward.
Xorg Plans Political Moves: Removing 2 Years of Commits from XLibre Dev Xorg, which has a stated goal of killing itself, plans to re-base on 2 year old code in order to avoid code from XLibre developer. Plus: Moving from "Master" to "Main" branch naming.

The @X “For You” recommendation algorithm has migrated from a mix of Scala, Java, and other languages… Entirely to Rust and Python. (Note: this is just the “algorithm” for the “For You” feed, the remainder of X is predominantly closed source.) https://t.co/sVfZZEXfSv

So this Rust cult thing needs to stop. I get it Rust is another programming language and it has its uses. This doesn't mean rewriting battle tested C/C++ code in Rust on a whim is a good idea. Also there are other languages out there that are also really good, like C#.

A little revised wallpaper grok made for me. Yes, very obviously a Devuan wallpaper but still.

@XLibreDev I admit I should have tried this earlier, but I didn't. Sigh.

Wow, @XLibreDev Xlibre scales so much better. I can scale things so I'm not squinting at the screen finally. The one thing I like about wayland was the scaling and now it seems Xlibre handles it no problem. I can now avoid squint mode. The old Xorg sort of failed at it.

Yipes! So what sit there eating lunch wearing a ski mask or just a face mask so they don't confuse you with ICE agents?
Are you a white, male software developer? Be careful. The Leftists might mistake you for an ICE agent and try to organize against you, in @signalapp chat groups, if they see you eating lunch.
