    They use the same code base, but as I understand they to adapt it in Mir and at the end you have :
    Mir > xMir > Xorg
    Versus
    Wayland > xWayland > Xorg
    So it depend of how they adapt it and how the base Wayland and Mir works... But I'm not sure.
    Michael will do some Wayland Vs Mir benchmark soon, for sure

      Hahaha. Now they're finished. :rofl:

      Nothing even runs on this thing yet, but it's finished

      Time to move to the next marketing buzzword.

        And we will see in the future how the 2 project will evolves.
        Yeah... At this point the whole Mir/Wayland debate is so exhausted that I have to agree with the people who are eating popcorn... Better wait and see, and not bother wasting breath in such discussions.

          Xwayland/Xmir is not a magical separated magic but is just a translator from X11 api to Wayland/Mir API, so if in Mir the operation took 100 cycles and in wayland took 5 cycles you will notice it in the xorg apps right away for example, it just a translation layer so the speed on the actual backend regardless of how the layer convert between the two

            We're on page 7 right now. How many pages would we have, if we left out any BO$$ post and related reply, while increasing overall quality?

Ubuntu will have it for the next version in October. And Ubuntu is for the masses. So people will be exposed to Mir first. Why is it so hard to admit that Canonical basically wiped the floor with your beloved Wayland? Started later, finished sooner. That is what a successful project looks like.
              BO$$ you really need to stop sucking off Canonical

              Redhat Intel Raspberry pi Kubuntu Debian Carsten Munk Tizen Sailfish OS and any non Ubuntu Unity is backing Wayland most of the code in Mir is just a fork of Wayland Android Carsten Munk work Libhybris making it even more buggy shitty you dont know how long it's going to take to remove all the bug's form Mir it may take years do to it trying to move away form the code it's based off from and it's the most Epic Fail of the Linux World Wayland the way Canonical is going is why i jumped ship it's going to be really bad for any one Developing on Linux Canonical just Fucked all Linux Develpers Linux Gamers Linux Users do you know how hard it is going to be to get Windows Developers to look at Linux now?

              Demo of the new QPainter compositor in KWin running on Weston. It also shows the new Wayland support in the XRender compositor.

                I thought XWayland and XMir were different implementations of the X api that used their respective backends. But it seems that was too much work to put on so instead they just created another layer .

                It would have been of much performance if the x.so library was replaced with a a different implemtation xwayland/mir.so

                Edit: mmm much like MicroXwin does

                  Not necessarily. if you actually look at the architecture of XWayland and XMir you actually avoid a few expensive steps at the end vs real X. In theory, its possible for us to have slightly better performance via XMir and XWayland than Real X. But obviously an alpha-quality release won't have the optimizations and design to actually make that claim true just yet.
                  All opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.

                    I must admit that BO$$ has the most impressive tackle box of lures here. Not that there is any sort of difficulty getting a bite around these parts, but he's got a certain finesse and effectiveness that has not gone unnoticed.

                      Then make your f-ing Project Leaders and their ass-licker developers to contribute the Wayland Project in order to make it work properly. (as they desire - since it's actually working.)

                      And if they fork the hell out of our kernel, Linux Ecosystem and Linux Community achieves nothing. Canonical forks everything from Linux and becomes what Apple became after BSD. - Like a BO$$.

                      Everyone has their freedom of doing whatever the f! they want to. But what would our community gets from this? Not all of us are blind Canonical fanboys and in need of a new "Steve Jobs"-a-like. We need an overall progression and Distribution Managements are getting more retarded everyday and not trying to let their community to test some certain part of this ecosystem. They just "move" - How the f! is this logical?

Brilliant reference implementation. Everything in Wayland is a sad joke and free software hipsters won't see it because they think Canonical == Evil while Wayland == Good. Mir is already the future. And it's already here. Wake up people!
                      Mir is not the future. It's yet to prove itself. When it's ready for a showdown, we're going to test it and like or dislike the way it's walking. But this objectivity (which fanboys like you cannot understand) is for better future for our ecosystem. We're not some company's fanatics or just a bunch of hippies; we're people with different choices, different ideals. The one thing binds us here is Linux Ecosystem and this ecosystem is more than just our hobbies but our jobs.

                      Before we decide something, we analyze the every possible aspect of such work. Then we decide if that's for us or not. But raising our voice cannot hurt any f-ing homo sapiens sapiens on this pathetic planet but only some fanatically blind people like you.

                      Freedom. Because they can consume the hell out of their market. Freedom to consume and to be consumed. Freedom to stay blind but saying otherwise. Freedom to decline every logical path and just lick the path some Rich Hillbilly Boy decided.

                      But, yes, they have this freedom. It's just, we're sick of Apple wannabees and Apple Fanatics.
