Keep maintaining it/fork it? Also why would linux distros ditch X.org?
>>
>>52266623
because they're switching to wayland
>>
>>52266632
RHEL will never switch to wayland
>>
>>52266638
I thought it was red hat who was sponsoring all the development
>>
they'll do whatever dragonfly did, i guess
>>
>>52268334
What did dragonfly do? I'm out of the loop.

>>52266638
Bruh, RH is deep balls in wayland, they're pushing it so hard I'm afraid fedora 24 will literally be Fedora 23: Wayland by default edition.
>>
>>52266609
Switch to it.

Wayland is being developed primarily with Linux in mind but iirc testing port of Weston to *BSD already exists.

The faster we all can forgot about the abomination called xorg, the better.
>>
They'll move to wayland? This isn't hard anon they made wayland platform agnostic like X the "dependence" on logind or whatever can be filled with anything.
>>
>>52268403
they forked it and made it work
>>
>>52268465
OpenBSD does something similar iirc.
>>
OpenBSD and NetBSD run on architectures all the way back to the fucking VAX that don't have a prayer in hell of running Wayland thanks to limited or missing support for 3D acceleration. They'll keep X but also (eventually) use Wayland by default on i386, amd64, armv7, and arm64.
>>
>>52268676
if the openbsd devs decide to handle wayland like how they handled Xorg they'll probably create additional sets for it

the other alternative is some third party port
