It IS a terrible name. But it also is an over one decade old brand.

It will be hard to propagate the new name and have it as recognizable as "Minetest".

Also luanti.net (which would be the most logical step to use that address because of the same TLD).

Why isn't something like this done prior to announcing the new name ...

Is this an out-of-season April Fools' joke?

That's a cute idea but it completely ignores that it isn't 2005 anymore. Algorithms are good enough to detect that.

Loss of control of this data would be catastrophic, so I took its security very seriously.

Ask yourself: "If my current system is unavailable: How screwed am I?"

If the answer is anything less than "Not screwed at all!", then it is time for a backup - regardless of what system you're using or plan to use.

At all stages I want to be left alone and just do what I'm paid for.

So Arch now is a corporate distribution?

The screen capture protocol was merged a month ago.

That’s part of my issue I have with Wayland protocols. It was added a month ago. After several years! During research I found discussions ~6 years old, this PR was 2 years old, and superseded a 4 years old other request.

In the meantime some environments implemented that on their own without waiting for the protocol. If I understand correctly: Gnome as well as KDE have implemented it outside the protocol. And Hyprland devs forked wlroots to advance development faster and also add that. (Correct me if I’m wrong.)

Since labwc uses wlroots (but is a bit slow with adapting to new versions) it will take quite some time before I can put a checkmark after my last usecase. I am optimistic that it will work. But I accepted that it may take several years to add new functionality and a few months before the functionality arrives in wlroots and at some point after that in labwc.

No one will use a fork of Wayland. That would be suicide.

Famous last words ...
