Unity was abandoned just when they reached its sweet spot.

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.

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.

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.

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

ubuntu Touch by UBPorts, Lomiri for Desktop, Mate, etc

What is lighter? Mir, libweston, or wlroots?

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

A 2 year old bug, nice

Trying to use gnome in Ubuntu:

A zip file where I only need one file? Not a problem I said. Open it up and drag the file… nothing

Copy, paste… nothing

Right-click copy, then right-click and paste is greyed out

Whatever, I’ll just extract it to my Downloads folder and copy it from there.

Right click nautilus from the Dock and click “Downloads” and now I have no nautilus windows, it crashed.

I’m glad that for now, wayland is not the default
