Yeah, I see that the fight is a bit ambiguous, CoC, etc, but even linus himself got to him in 2021 because of mRNA vaccines. His work was important, but breaking things in a project that's so old, and with so many things depending on it (like my old computer), and turning into Lunduke 3.0 seems very bad.

This happened in a release version and in the git version too, I tried the git version after seeing the problem in the release version.

Edit: Idk, but this blunder might have make xorg deprecated a lot faster than even before this.

Yeah I think Brody was spot on with his assessment that this is exactly what a fork should be for. And people who want it will be able to use the fork Etc and X work will have its stability for now.

I only have a general perception of what happened with Lunduke. But I don't know the specifics about what happened etc. Who was 2.0? Lol I wasn't even aware of that necessarily for there to be a 3.0

Yeah, I think a fork fits that purpose too.

About Lunduke 2.0, Idk, but i feel a mixture of distrotube (like the gun video) + luke smith + a lot of people from that era maybe.

Heh, I'm aware of DT but know nothing of a gun video. But he certainly gave a vibe like the 8 bit guy. So not surprised.
