Ubuntu's Mir Working On Replaceable Renderer, Hybrid Graphics Driver Support

[RAOF]

Terrain map? I've never heard of anyone using that term for a roadmap?...

It's a terrain map because it's very much not a roadmap. As I said in the post, these are things that we're not planning to work on in the immediate future. I tried to use “terrain map” to signify something higher level than a roadmap; clearly I failed in communicating that.

...replaceable renderer? Does that mean GPU recovery and/or switching on the fly?

No, “replaceable renderer” is about shells being able to bring their own rendering/scenegraph library.

GPU recovery would come under “hot reloading/crash resiliance”. It might be helpful to read the post; it's not very long

why you feel this is a zinger worth posting when the Gnome founder literally works at Microsoft is beyond me

He's the guy that thinks that GNOME Desktop is the only desktop environment out there.

Oh, that troll still exists? I guess some trolls just can't help themselves..

He's the guy that thinks that GNOME Desktop is the only desktop environment out there. Little does he know there are many better choices out there like KDE or XFCE.

The KDE founder went to Nokia serving the Lords of MS

According to his LinkedIn: "He currently resides in Berlin, Germany. Having seen many poor technology choices, resulting in catastrophic business failures, he is currently focused on advising start-ups and corporations on digital transformation and in sound technical decision making."

So you're saying MS Nokia is helping startups and corporations making wise decisions?

betam4x Linux is about choice. Use whatever you like Do whatever you

Same did the XFCE founder, he is working on GNOME now.

Then why are the latter 2 sentences pro-GNOME?

(also, can I have the choice to disable this GNOME propaganda? )

What are you talking about? Mir is bringing Wayland support to smaller desktops for people who don't want GNOME.
