From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  1. Get kicked from freedesktop for fostering a toxic community.
  2. Ditch wlroots for your own compositor.
  3. Shit on other compositors in your spare time.
  4. Tell people they should just be plugging into Hyprland instead of rolling their own compositor.

Man if I was concerned about sinking the time to make a configuration for the compositor with a bus factor of 1 man-child, and a toxic community; I can't imagine anybody investing the time to make a compositor is going to want to hitch themselves to that cart.

The compositor is really solid and makes for a great user experience but I'll be fucked if every word vaxry writes doesn't make me want to move to sway or niri.

You can just chose not to read his blogs. I checked the discord recently for some help defining window size for mpv and it was pretty good. No general chats, strictly topic abiding channels and nice folk that either share the wiki part or the code that helped me.

The discord does have a general chat, as well as a memes chat.

Oh seems like it, most probably added recently? Idk. Looks like varxy really wants attention from somewhere. Tbh opening a discord for foss projects is so troll. I also joined their matrix but it's deserted.

Afaik it was there when I joined over a year ago. Discord hides some channels by default now when you join a server, that could be it. It is always a shame when a FOSS project uses Discord more than Matrix, makes me way less likely to interact with the community.

Exactly, politics vs. doing software.
