EDIT: It looks like John Carmack is also a Wayland supporter.
Wow, timeout for post editing is really short here.

Ubuntu Is Going To Deploy Wayland With Unity

Hello, my first post here. I just wanted to say that I fully support Wayland if it can fix problems like slow (re)drawing of qt and kde apps, problems with windows resizing (when compositing is turned on), ect.

Any excessive praise I can easily overlook.
Unwarranted slamage gets a bit boring after a while. I think Ubuntu adds positively to the Linux ecosystem. Some like to focus on the negative far too much in my view. Others go further and seem to suggest that Canonical should be folded, at least that's what I take away from members of alternative distros suggesting that programmers hired by Canonical should resign and find work elsewhere. (not referring to this thread directly in this last sentence.)

What I refer to is the comments in this thread posted by individuals I presume not affiliated with either Michael or Phoronix proper.

But this is it. It's not a shame to be known as a company which does some pretty packaging, especially if the packaging is successful.
And instead of this, you are suggesting that Canonical is being mobbed by RedHat, Novel, GNOME and KDE because they are all jealous of Canonical's superior code.
No, seriously.

Originally posted by pingufunkybeat View PostI don't know what exactly referring to, but if you're referring to the anti-Ubuntu posts, then things are getting too ridiculous.
RedHat, Intel, AMD, SUSE and many others have developed the technology behind Wayland, and now the Ubuntu folks have said that they might use Wayland in two years.
I don't know, but the suggestion that Ubuntu is the tall poppy here is one of the funniest things ever written phoronix.
They SAID that they might use it in the future. Whoah. Dude. How can we thank them?

Now, because some users of other distros are butt-hurt because while the creators of their preferred distro may have more code accepted by upstream, it seems that this code in it's submitted form is chosen by less end users. Blame the end users perhaps?
It would seem that while Canonical may make some changes that upstream isn't interested in, end users are.
Some want to trash Canonical for the success of Ubuntu as if to suggest they're not deserving of their current preferred status. If Canonical didn't know how to package software in a way the people find pleasant and usable then end users wouldn't use it surely.
Ubuntu currently enjoys a pretty descent position as far as mind share goes in the end-user desktop Linux space. If RedHat, Suse, etc want to over take that position they're going to need to produce the code that's best to use in that scenario, not only the most code. Canonical offer their changes to all who wish to accept it. Perhaps the others should take it all onboard?

But only where it's due, please
the way i see it is somehow like this:
Redhat, intel etc are the technical side of linux and canonical is the marketing side of it
linux needs both
the 1337/freetard hate towards ubuntu is totaly stupid
