The wayland developers have significantly more experience when it comes to developing a display server, and they are trying to do things the "right way", whilst mir exists purely to quickly develop a display server that only suits unity's needs, so it will probably be rather "quick and hacky" compared to wayland.
IMHO I don't care what display server I use. It has to work, and it has to work with desktop I choose. By they way they could do something noticeable for the user, like plug-and-play support for USB(3) digital output adapters (HDMI/DVI/DP, just like on Windows), or for example wireless headphones (at the moment I can easily use one with Gnome Mplayer, but not other GUIs) and stuff like that that annoys me

B) Fedora seems to be OK too lately, If you can stand Gnome sHell. It's a little bit more advanced but hey, I personally don't know any PC noob who installs Linux by himself. People who install Linux either know what they are doing or they have somebody to do the dirty work instead of them IMHO...
B) Really?

I don't get all the clammoring for something else "right now!" X has more than enough life left to see us through untill the transition to a new display architecture can take place smoothly.

For that matter I know a bunch of people who are total noobs with computers and still use Linux. Heck, some of them even use Fedora. Being a computer expert may have been a requirement for using Linux 10 years ago but not anymore.

Originally posted by Teho View PostA large reason why Canonical gets all the shit it gets is because they are incapable of working in collaborative open source environments. Forking projects left and right. Not contributing patches upstream. Abusing their market dominance to create incompatible standards. Taking openly developed code behind closed doors and releasing it back months later with numerous additions without at any point contacting the upstream. Using contributor license agreements... and so on and so forth.
As for contributing upstream, it seems that Canonical won't even be afforded that luxury since many projects have come out and said they will outright refuse to upstream Mir patches, so take that as you will.
