Not sure what’s a good place to break this news, but might as well share it here since it is relevant to the topic. Artix stopped officially supporting XLibre and switched back to X11. Reasons were because the developer who was maintaining XLibre on Artix, Artist, was harassed to the point of resignation. Developer nous also said that someone made a bunch of sock-puppet accounts to deflect blame from XLibre.
My take on this is that this is serious, but that also means investigating equally as serious. At least from my personal account, I’m not able to find absolute proof of harassment leading to Artist’s resignation other than his personal account of the matter. It also doesn’t help that the bugs aren’t listed and I checked the bug tickets in all the relevant repositories, but didn’t find much. I don’t know, maybe I’m not looking hard enough.
What are your takes on this? And since OpenMandriva officially supports XLibre, how does this news affect OM?
