I do think though that our current "fat" DE's will inject themselves between the unified lower levels and the app bundles on top. It would be nice too if package managers would evolve to a state where they can manage decentralized app locations. A package registers with the package manager and provides a URI where the pacakage manager can check for updates and then proceeds to install itself (copy to bundle directory and make the appropriate XDG items).

In short, the world will stay the same as it always was and Linux users will keep truckin' with their Linux distro's.

The fact is Ubuntu has the best opportunities for AMD and Nvidia, since Canonical is taking their OS to phones, tablets, gaming rigs, workstations, to servers, and to the cloud. All those fields have cross over of code and routines for graphics. Ubuntu has the cherry on the cake.
Personally since I use Kubuntu/Ubuntu I want Mir supported, but I hope both Mir and Wayland get a go.

A graphics-workstations used in science/research or cad work, using for example a $3000 gfx card is not locked to any operating system.
Nvidia and AMD would find development easier if they took the Mir path as the gaming card drivers/routines would overlay similar gfx abilities required for the high end cards. Ubuntu is the king of Linux gaming.
also the Systems (workstations) that have the high end GPU want real support and software development not the shitty copy paste job's of Crapnical so you can count Crapnical out in this market

98% of gaming rigs run Windows XP and up

- Canonical to Nvidia: Hey, will you support us?

Really? Care to share your links with announced tablets and phones using Ubuntu?
You actually don't have a clue at all what the Quadro/FireGL cards are used for, or am I wrong? Why the hell would graphical workstations use a text only display? Why the hell would you need expensive workstation cards for text only display?
Only that most graphical workstations run RHEL or SLED. Not many that run Ubuntu.
We all know how reliable announcements from Canonical are, so before Nvidia or AMD confirm that they will support Mir this whole discussion is mood.
