Xfce-Based Xubuntu Will Not Ship XMir For 13.10

Why the hell are you posting page hits as accurate distribution usage numbers?
Are you retarded or something?

who said i did its a sign of what happens when you release shitty software or software that people who have bad OCD cant Stand Remeber Gnome 3?

It's good that they don't sacrifice performance and stability for something that's "new and shiny". Xubuntu is an excellent gaming distro, and they'd better keep it that way.

You did when you posted it, and your very, very poor English skills don't help the situation.

Xfce 4.11?

Xfce 4.11 was supposed to be released earlier in the year but it has yet to happen.

Why Michael keeps talking about XFCE 4.11, while next version of this DE is 4.12?

hahah, doesn't take a street-cleaner to figure out Michael's bias here =D I think he's in majority camp this time, though. The only people to disagree would, obviously, be the remaining Ubuntu-fans.

[who_me]

Those remaining Ubuntu fans still are a lot more than any others distro fans according to Steam's HW survey. I'm perfectly happy with 12.04. No reason for me to "upgrade" till 2017 unless it's to something that's a lot better. There's plenty of time to evaluate.

its not a "sign" of anythings, its page hits for a single website, its meaningless.

At least it does provide feel-good moments to obtuse people.

I too reacted to the "more good news" bit in the article. Although it might be biased, I'd say it's indeed good news the Xubuntu team is playing it safe for the sake of their users, they could have decided to greenlight XMir in its current state for obscure reasons. With the time to EOL for non LTS versions being halved, it's fairly obvious Canonical is willing to treat standard Ubuntu releases as beta/testing and thus to push unoptimized software stacks for those. Mir/XMir might work well enough to make the whole deal a nonissue soon enough though.

The headline is "Xubuntu skips Mir this time around", not "Xubuntu ditches Mir all together", folks...
