Elon Musk tweeted on his official account on Sunday that Twitter would be changing its logo to an “X” and that all the birds will be disappearing from the platform.
No, I’m thinking of Xorg. The development on it has slowed to less than a crawl, and not because it’s feature-complete. It’s unmaintainable, and hell to manage for anyone that’s not a senior Xorg developer.
What features is it missing? They started decoupling GPU drivers from the X server a long time ago (about a decade), that’s why Linux has DRM, and what enabled making Wayland. At this point the only feature needed of Xorg, is a compatibility layer between X clients and Wayland.
