The phoronix forums are insanely toxic. Everything is bad. Gnome = kid's toy. systemd = written by Satan himself. Every programming language = too slow. Anything vaguely interested in fostering a diversity, equity, and inclusion = true colors come out in full force.

It's so toxic yet I subject myself to it every now and again. There's absolutely no moderation going on and it shows.

Fyi, you've linked to page 4, here's where it starts.

I hope the phoronix forums never die

Man, that guy really likes X11.

That's hilarious.

"Mozilla is allowing you the option to build Firefox without X11 dependencies"

"Mozilla hates freedom!!!"

I got to page 3 before I couldn't take it anymore and had close 🤣

Nice

Especially when the original article is about anything related to Rust. An hour after the article is live you'll have 50 posts arguing and trolling like there's nothing more important in the whole wide world. So entertaining!

Might make me consider buying an Nvidia card in the future if they can get a reasonably performing and reliable in-kernel driver.

This is the most Phoronix forums like comment I have seen so far LOL

If part of their job is working with the OSS community I don't see anything wrong (and I just finished my annual training a few weeks ago, so it's still fresh in my mind).

Edit: keeping an "official" repo secret does seem like an issue, but public posts about the correct process to contribute upstream doesn't seem like a problem.

the Greater Good

Not really. Instead of dumping all the drivers into one repo, there's now a separate repo just for GPU drivers, which is just a staging area, before they get merged into the main repo.

If you ask "why"? It's like creating an extra folder so that your files are organized better.

As an end user, it's not going to change anything for us.
