> The continuation of X11 is likely not why he was banned.

Well, according to the article, Weigelt claims he was censored and that the ban was an attempt by Red Hat to eliminate competition and push for the adoption of Wayland; this action resulted in the deletion of his account, repositories, tickets, and over 140 merge requests associated with the Xorg project.

Well, i can claim i am the king of England and it wont make it any more true then he saying he was censored..

He sent a ton of merge requests with crap code without doing any basic testing that broke a bunch of stuff without doing any meaningful work, there was no new features, no bugs fixed, no nothing, he was only changing code style and rearranging stuff without really any basic understanding on why things are the way they are..

the people that need to review his garbage untested MR warned him multiple times and eventually got fed up..

This guy is all bark and no bite.. i doubt anything will come out of this and it is very unlikely that any serious distro will ever package his shit X11 if it ever work..

this guy have a more technical review of his code:

I don't know how much research the author/publisher of the article did. They claim on their site that "Linuxiac is an independent media platform that publishes the latest news from the Linux world and open-source software. Founded by Bobby Borisov and launched in May 2020, it has quickly become a trusted resource for thousands of users daily, providing insights into all things Linux & open source."

dont know where he said that and not sure why this is relevant..

i have seen his PRs myself and fully agreee with the author/publisher..

I didn't have that much press when I forked Qt and started LeanQt ;-)

Textbook conspiracy theory. Now let's hear the other side.

The article presents both sides and rather states a pessimistic view on the Xlibre project's chances of success.
