    Downstream

    Hope it gets picked up by downstream fast.

    It probably gets picked up by ArchLinux fast.
    But Debian and Ubuntu still doesn't have 1.2.0.

    They're still on 1.1.0 or 1.0.5 or so.

      Fedora 20 doesn't yet seem to offer the Wayland tech preview.

      The wayland-mutter stuff is installed by default but no option present at the login screen.

        Yeah, but it's such a train wreck, aside being an incubation zone for a server OS - I installed the daily build yesterday which made me recall how shitty, weird and fancy is the installer - a bad design for smartphones applied to the PC, like putting lipstick on a pig.

            whats this Mir thing you're talking about sounds like vaporware to me

              For sure, anyone not loving Fedora must be an Ubuntu user. Another great example of Honton's logic.

                I thought you didn't like MIT-licensed software? Weston is MIT-licensed and only works with MIT-licensed graphics drivers.

                  I dislike Canonical and hate Mir, all for wayland, but apparently I'll use Ubuntu & Mir cause I find Unity a lot better thought out than Gnome 3 and desktop Fedora, despite Fedora probably being technically superior, which is why Fedora sucks to me as a desktop solution but is good for servers. So I'm not ideological, I go for what's easiest and sucks less out of the box. If Fedora makes a redesign of Gnome 3 to the better I'll switch over.

                    Actually, I'd like you to explain this to me.

                    As a general rule I accept different levels of restrictions to different kind of software can be beneficial, but asymmetric licensing is always wrong.
                    1) You can accept software which can be closed by anyone at any time.

                    2) You can't accept Qt which is LGPL and can be closed by one party only, and if that happens, it automatically becomes 1)

                    No, I don't understand it because it doesn't make any sense. A neutral observer would get the idea that you are simply trolling, as evidenced by all your "KDE is dying" posts.
