Interesting. For me the 'Fork' button works – I'm not aware of
restrictions regarding forking...
You have to be logged in to create a fork, of course. Maybe there was
a temporary hiccup on the site?
Due to massive spam & cryptomining attacks, some features of
gitlab.freedesktop.org have gotten locked down in recent weeks,
and that includes permission to fork repositories for newly created users
as noted on https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/wikis/home
That permission can be requested by following the link on the above page
that appears right after "To request the capability to create/fork projects".
