Re: XLibre in Debian
Dear Debian Project Team
Thank you for your responses, especially to those who have provided
information about the proper channels to request specific packages
or hinted to the development situation with display protocols under GNU/Linux.
My question about XLibre resulted from the current, not quite satisfactory
situation, with display protocols for GNU/Linux. As a non-IT person
who is involved in development of specialized simulation software
(solar energy engineering), I feel uncertain about investing my time
in solutions compatible with X11 or with Wayland. While X11 is loosing
its support base, the slow progress with Wayland implementation makes
me think to explicitly separate any graphical interface from the
computing cores by depending on third-party free/libre software
for visualization.
Debian GNU/Linux is a fantastic distro, which has been my main workhorse
for years. Please never allow to divide the community. Extreme language
on any side of the spectrum is not helpful to work harmoniously.
Some political aspects raised in response to my post are personally
not neutral to me, a Pole, either. I believe that the past of some big tech
companies, now involved in FOSS through their subsidiaries, or strong personal
opinions of free software developers on any side of the political spectrum,
are best dealt with by focusing on the philosophy behind the free/libre
software movement.
Thank you for your excellent and very meaningful work.
Best wishes
Wojciech
