🧑💻 NetBSD On The State & Future Of X.Org/X11
➥ @phoronix
「 The bad news is that to have applications running we require access to a larger open source ecosystem, and that ecosystem has a lot of churn and is easily distracted by shiny new squirrels. The process of upstreaming stuff to X.Org is an ongoing process, but it's likely we'll run into things that will never be suitable for upstream 」
Thanks for the link, @jbzfn, but I think it is important to emphasize the main message from the original article, not the summary from @phoronix: the *BSDs have their own fork of with a richer feature set, and better generic acceleration compatibility.
The question is about when does BSD stop supporting that fork, and for now the answer is that they will still do it…
