Michael, you need to add voting so I can +1 these sorts of awesome comments! Bonus points if you add categories, then I could "+1, Troll" this.

*ignoring troll*

However, if "enduser" listens to "expert" and "expert" states "release annoucement dull", then "enduser" is likely to adopt that. Please don`t do that. If they don`t have a mind, you might aswell say it is "exhilataring beyond belief", and the real experts who make this stuff will have a better time.

Everybody will be crying in pain when nothing will work any longer mark my words

Sometimes change is painful, but necessary.

Officially, welcome Wayland!

Yeah you think I'm trolling but let's wait two Ubuntu versions until they make Wayland mandatory and get rid of Xorg. Everybody will be crying in pain when nothing will work any longer mark my words.

Like they made Unit... Oh wait, you can still remove it. "Crying in pain" .. xD lol
Plus, what will we do without the tearing? They'll remove that feature too from Linux. Among many other things. :|

Ubuntu is well known for using stuff that isn't anywhere near stable, or usable, or anything remotely decent.

Wait, isn't that Arch and Fedora? I am missing things lately, and I wanted to reinstall Arch to try all the new/unstable/unusable things more easily .. Better stay on Ubuntu you say?

Yeah you think I'm trolling

Yes. Yes we do.

Not trying to troll and I welcome new solutions but as it stands Wayland doesn't look like its at a v1.0 state yet.

and the Nvidia propietary drivers? (for example). is compatible with wayland?

the versioning is completely irrelevant. apt is still 0.x, even though it would be considered extremely mature.

Of course not, the protocol just became stable TODAY. GTK, EFL, QT, and KDE can all work on Wayland support because of the "scratch your own itch" nature of OSS. Nvidia and AMD arent going to spend money on developers to make their drivers Wayland compatible when they may have to turn around and redo all of it the next day.
