    Great, potterydung enshittified Linux to the point they added DRM to the death handler.

    (only half-kidding, anti-Linux is explicitly what potterydung is trying to do; but it never ceases to amuse me that the name for the manager thingy was chosen to acronym to DRM. How will we ever know when DRM (pejorative) is actually added to Linux video?)

      Direct rendering infrastructure in Linux predates widespread use of “digital rights management” as a term of art by about two or three years. “We were here first,” as the saying goes. That said, the specific concept of direct rendering managers is a little newer, and probably was a mistake on its own merits, regardless of the name.

        “We were here first,” as the saying goes.

        True. As corporate goes, take a good product name that exists in the wild, bury it with your own shitty product, best case you get to kill two products for the price of one (eg.: Google with “Gemini”).

      I have no idea what you’re talking about but you seem to be quite upset about something I guess
