Mir Gets Workaround For Visual Glitches, Corruption

How come a thread on Wayland comes and goes un-trolled and on topic, but every Ubuntu/Mir/Unity thread gets derailed and trolled within minutes?

If you think the Wayland threads aren't getting trolled, you aren't looking.

It doesn't help when a thread starts out with a post like this:

The speed at which Canonical is progressing in their quest for domination shows us what we already know but most won't admit: they are the de facto FOSS leaders. Apple derived Mac OS X from BSD, Ubuntu is derived from Linux. This is how it should be: a corporation takes what the open source guys do and creates a true OS under a strong leadership. That is what is missing in the Linux community. Luckily for the consumers there is Shuttleworth that will do what Jobs did with BSD, transform it into a real OS, not a kiddie joke. And just as Apple did a lot of things differently from BSD, so will Ubuntu diverge from Linux. It takes a real focus on the consumers to create an alternative to Windows. Good times ahead: Microsoft, Apple and Canonical, the new holy trinity.

Wait...that wouldn't happen to be a man-sized case would it?

Don't get any ideas now.

I dislike that Mir exists. However, I am happy that it probably will work nicely if you use Ubuntu. E.g. performance seems to be mostly ok now, same for glitches. Still don't think it is useful with XMir, only 14.10 is noteworthy with real Mir. Anyway, still happy that'll work out for Ubuntu users.

In order to try to be on par and compete with Mir wiki's initial FUD, since Canonical community show us the troll way.

Why on earth do you say this? The Wayland threads absolutely get trolled, and usually by the same people. Bo$$ and friends don't pay any attention to what the thread is actually about... they just see keywords like Wayland, Mir, or Canonical, and start spewing their usual noise. And likewise the pro-Wayland trolls spout crap over both Wayland and Mir threads equally...
