They should have looked at Plan9 and the Rio window manager there. I don’t know how GPU acceleration would have fit in, but I bet it would have been trivial provided the drivers were sufficient. All of Rio in Plan9 is 6K lines of code and it’s a more powerful display protocol and window manager (all of the fundamentals are there but none of the niceties) than anything else I’ve ever seen. The defacto way to remote in…

The beauty with Free Software and Linux distros is that "they" don't have to do it, anyone who wants to (including you!) can do it.

Oh, I don't? This is news. So to be clear, you're saying that you've spoken to the management at my company and convinced them to switch away from redhat? If you could post a link to a copy of the email from the higher-ups, just so I have it in writing, that'd be rad. Thanks! :)

You accept money to work on Red Hat products, that is a choice you make. The owner/manager of the company you work at is free to decide what systems to use and then pay people to carry out her strategy/direction. You probably don't get to decide what kind of office chairs you buy either.

Right. So in other words you're now saying that I do have to use red hat's products, even if I don't want to, if that's what my customers want. (and just to head off your next comment, no, it's not my choice, because I happen to like food and shelter) Thanks for playing

So you want to force Red Hat to keep maintaining the xorg stack because you are unable or unwilling to change jobs?
