@heavyimage ah well you see, I'm not your guy at all. I hate extremism from both ends of the spectrum.
I think systemd is a cancer so I use Artix. I prefer to use Dinit and Xlibre rather than accept a Redhat/IBM takeover, and I use dwm because it's lean, mean, and works the way I want.
That said, I don't posess a Volkswagen, ride in rockets, or use the Autobahn, so I guess you can say I'm doing my bit.

@heavyimage I found the torch hiking pic controversy strange as it's a common winter activity. In Xlibre there's over 50 developers contributing, and there's probably just as many different political views. Tainting an entire project because of one persons views is as dumb as the views in question.

@creepy_owlet @xfce two big fallacies there:
1) it isn't "depreciated" only corporations forcing their own agenda are calling it that, and tried to kill it.
2) currently there are 535 contributors to Xlibre, it certainly isn't a "one man show".

Absolutely, a swastika pops up everytime I launch it. /s
I think you'll find that in all large projects of this nature you'll get a large cross section of political views.
Personally I'm a centrist, which has absolutely nothing to do with my use of Linux where I'd rather not use wayland or systemd.

@xfce Sorry, I'm sticking to Xlibre. Maybe you could team up with the Xlibre devs too?
