Writing a new X server from scratch would have been an enormous undertaking two decades ago. (Keith Packard did Kdrive but he’s literally the foremost expert on X11.) Part of what motivated Wayland was the difficulty of maintaining the X server.
How can we reconcile AI coding a functional X server with the assertions that AI is overrated and we’re in a bubble?

I don't understand the desire for an X11 rewrite. X.org is absolutely terrible, I understand starting from scratch, but wouldn't it make far more sense to make a backwards compatible X12?

>FreeBSD support — tested on GhostBSD
Why am I not surprised. GhostBSD seems to joyfully delve into the slop and attract the worst to FreeBSD.
