Wayland, Weston 1.2 Development Statistics

[LinuxGamer]

It's coming in Ubuntu 13.10, the most popular distro! That's what it's doing.

and tell me What Mir is Doing on 13.10 i been testing 13.10

Ubuntu based distros AND Windows? Do you really not care for your loved ones? Do you really not care for them being sent to gulag and you burnt at the stake? Why are you digging yourself deeper by admitting to use such Satanical OSes?

I moved away from main Ubuntu long time ago, even more so now with Ubuntu going to be fragmenting Linux community.

I support the future of Linux and that is Wayland, glad to say that Xubuntu and XFCE both fully back Wayland and will be moving to it in the future.

What? Slow down with the nose candy...

I didn't start it!!

You use Windows on phoronix. There are assassins sent to your exact location at this very moment.

Anyway does that Metro interface actually have a point or you spend most time in the desktop environment? Do the start menu programs installed actually work or cause more problems than they solve (if you have something like that installed)? Do Windows 7 drivers work on Windows 8?

If drivers work I'm almost thinking of upgrading but they removed Aero. Why the hell did they remove my transparent windows? Bring back the start menu and give me Aero Glass back and I'm going to upgrade! Microsoft are you listening??

Hahaha!! Microsoft is not listening, it has no ears anymore because it is rotting!!
I love Windows 8! Reminds me the good old days of Windows Millennium!
Can you imagine windows 8 running under Mir? You could then run the Great Aero via Weston through Mir and have your transparent windows back in the outer space!!!
Think about it...
Maybe you should start coding to port Mir (Canonical behind it more market share) or Wayland (even with few lines you could be the maintainer of the projekt so easily) to Windows 8!

I also use Linux on Phoronix as well. I triple boot Windows 8, Xubuntu 13.04 and Linux Mint 15 Mate.

I got my start screen all organized and I do use it (since my thumb is literally right on the Windows key most of the time). I don't use those start menu programs and from what I've read they cause a lot of problems.

Yes they do, but most of my drivers I use have had a Windows 8 specific driver for awhile now. Realtek, NVIDIA, Microsoft mouse and AMD chipset drivers. The only thing that doesn't have Windows 8 drivers is my LifeChat LX3000, but the drivers that automatically install work flawlessly.

Sounds good. Where I can take a free copy of Windows 8?

[synaptix]

Were you forced to use it, manipulated into using it and can't downgrade, or you actually like it?

Wasn't forced.
Wasn't manipulated.
I can downgrade to Windows 7 if I wanted, but I won't.
I like it.

On Windows, realizing how far you Linux nerds are from ever reaching that market share with your attitude.

Hey wait a second now, I'm on Windows 8 at the moment. xD

..

Oh hey there Bo$$, where you been?

[dee.]

Wayland isn't small because they are some great coders but because it doesn't do much!

Is it just me or is bozley getting stupider each day?
