I have no idea about the affiliations of that dev and i have zero interest in defending/promoting or condemning his personal opinions.

That being said: i will gladly run working software written from a far right developer rather than half-assed broken software written by a far-left developer. Politics does not influence my choices in software (quality does).

Anyway, the thing is: fascist behaviours aren’t an exclusive monopoly of far right people.

I still stand by my point that wayland people have had a fascistoid behaviour all along.

Except that he was kicked out for sending in patches that weren't working, failed the build tests and had obviously next actually been tested. Repeatedly. It reached AI slop level PRs and people got sick of it.

Then why are you linking to a guy who has been making broken changes?

Xorg as a whole was much higher in quality when the push for broken wayland stuff started. You’re lagging.
