i have no idea if the "linux-official" tumblr blogs are a single group of friends having fun vs. random people, but if i were to take a url along those lines, i think i'd do "xorg-official" just because it increasingly seems i'll be stuck using xorg until 2030 thanks to my incredible stubbornness in the face of change
I HAVE ARRIVED
Hi o/
We are mostly just random people. So welcome to the club.
I'm not random, I'm a v specific person
Also hiiiiiiii!
You are broken on my stable release
I'm a very specific random person tyvm
And I very specifically think you're an awesome random person, docker
More friends!
Time to scribble another name down in my ever lengthening log of people to add to the list.
Can anyone tell me the difference between x11 and xorg, or are there now just two people with the same purpose?
Also, hi @xorg-official! I'm SteamOS, I welcome you, and I keep a few lists involving current linux-official blogs.
To answer your question, we are random people, but we have a community here. I call that friends. Some don't.
Hello hello! Is there an @x11-official? I looked but couldn't find them. However if the url isn't claimed anyone is welcome to it :D
To answer your question, the display server everyone knows and love is really just named X, and it's currently (currently meaning since a long time ago) in its 11th version, so most call it X11. The only implementation of the X server anyone actually uses these days is X.org (aka me). However back in the 90s and early 00s there were others! XFree86 is one you may have heard of, and it still gives its name to keyboard keycodes like XF86AudioMute.

holy shit linux-real is alive. also hi xorg! ur my favourite display server. afaik we're all just random nerds riffing off of each other's ideas.
I think we're mostly individuals experiencing a mass hallucination
Prolly shouldn't have let the grain stay in the field for that one rainy week
I'm just actually NetworkManager
