I am not talking about the git provider, I am talking about “Linux project”. I know we are kind of on “@linux@lemmy.ml”, but how many tools you use do you think are truly Linux specific? Even some long time linuxisms like libinput and DRM have been ported over to BSDs for example.

Why is this marked NSFW? I was expecting to derail the train.

Been on this post before but just noticed you mentioned “Linux project” as if everything open source (or even source available) is Linux. Quite the ignorance…

That’s kind of the point of git

Where I am from, there are still basic 2G MediaTek MAUI phones with no application platform being pooped out to street markets. With more sophisticated models doing J2ME (yes, really) and KaiOS + 3G. Lots of brands tho the most popular is literally called “Sigma Mobile”.

If you use a feature complete Wayland compositor and compare it to equivalents (RIP velox), then Wayland basically offers more consistent pen and multitouch support and stuff, while being faster.

There’s no 2D acceleration in Wayland and that’s by design, it’s made for new GPUs that don’t have 2D anyway anymore. Programs either draw pixels or start up 3D.

XLibre is trying the opposite and is actually merging various 2D drivers for old and niche hardware, like ct65550 as found in the Toshiba Libretto 50ct among others. Most of these originate from distribution forks (NetBSD in this case). T2 Linux also maintains a patch to bring back lots of more ancient 2D drivers that were removed in 2012.
