Canonical's Mir 2.4 Brings Numerous X11 + Wayland Enhancements

[Vistaus]

We know that MIR is used in some Canonical projects, however are there any DEs that have planned to use MIR?

Lomiri uses MIR, Mate is experimenting with it, Cinnamon is considering it and if I'm not mistaken, Ubuntu Touch will eventually be ported from the old MIR to this newer MIR as well.

It's a known bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/4
On ubuntu I got around it by installing some package that unfortunately I can't remember right now
If it comes back to my mind I'll tell you

Impossible. 144Hz and a few other devoted GNOME lovers on here are certain there are no bugs.

I had read about Cinnamon and Mate a long time ago, but now it's been a long time since I read anything ... that's why I was asking.

only if they bring unity back

Unity was abandoned just when they reached its sweet spot.

out of my head, Mir seems to be the solution..
It always was, even with the older protocol which was lighter than wayland..

The old protocol (Mir) was not "lighter", it was basically Wayland with a few pieces from the Android Display Server stack thrown in.

Unity was a technical dead end, with weird concepts and never run well on any hardware. Its the software version of old people looking back to the 60s with nostalgia and saying "when I was young, everything was better".

I have not seen him claiming GNOME has no bugs, to think any software has no bugs is a sigh of insanity.
Its always worth to see it in a context. Qt, the proprietary sold toolkit of our famous always nr. 2 desktop alone has more confirmed bugs open then the whole gnome ecosystem, some of them date back to Qt4, a few even to Qt3. Never fixed because no paying customer ever requested it to be fixed.

There will not be a lot of work on file-roller going forward as the focus is on getting archive functionality in nautilus itself, fedora for example already uses that insted.

Because Unity was a complete mess code wises. Other distributions tried to port it on theirs but gave up because of custom package requirement specific to Ubuntu.

And it's also always worth to look at emoticons. 'Cause if you did, you could've seen that I was just messing around instead of quoting.
