Are we XLibre yet?

X11 has been, and still is, a vital piece of technology at the core of professional Unix-like workstations since decades. It has a proven track record of supporting enterprise-grade applications with long-term protocol stability and platform compatibility. It has matured over decades. XLibre is an actively developed fork of the X.Org X11 server, initiated by the most active X.Org developer and supported by the open source community.

An incompatible alternative, Wayland, is being aggressively pushed by IBM = Red Hat = Gnome = Fedora = freedesktop.org. However, it is not ready to succeed X11 as it its governance model leads to never-ending discussions and prevents even the most essential functionality from existing. Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

It is time that the open source community reclaims what was ours to begin with. This page lists distrib

Installing Lua (and wlua!) + Luarocks on native Windows (not WSL)

This guide will go through the FULL process of installing Lua + MinGW + Luarocks on native Windows. This guide is for those who want to use Lua on Windows without WSL and want everything to work well. By the way, it would be greatly appreciated if anyone wants to make a script that does all of this.

Windows versions

I am only targeting Windows 10/11 in this tutorial, specifically ucrt. If you are using Windows 10/11, ignore this. If you use a different version, you will probably be using msvcrt, so you can skip the steps where I switch Luarocks to ucrt.

Step 1: MinGW

How to install Lua and LuaJIT on 64-bit Windows

Download the latest Lua and LuaJIT sources
- Create temporary folder for Lua sources.
  I assume you would use C:\Temp\ folder.
- Visit Lua FTP webpage and download the latest Lua source archive, currently it is lua-5.4.3.tar.gz

Use suitable software (7-Zip, WinRar, WinZip or TotalCommander) to unpack the archive.

IMPORTANT

See the following links for further updates to Github Desktop for Ubuntu. These are official instructions. (also mentioned by fetwar on Nov 3, 2023)

For the sake of "maintaining the tradition" here is the updated version.

Commit Message Guidelines

Short (72 chars or less) summary

More detailed explanatory text. Wrap it to 72 characters. The blank
line separating the summary from the body is critical (unless you omit
the body entirely).

Write your commit message in the imperative: "Fix bug" and not "Fixed
bug" or "Fixes bug." This convention matches up with commit messages
