Guest repliedOriginally posted by funkSTAR View PostHow about some canonical-fused waylandish in-house skunkwork whizbang built from CA desires under heavy infuence of a varity of drugs? Add a shell built on Qt and a bit more spyware. Then you got yourself a nice pot luck of all the shit, FUD, closedness and greed which made Apple and Microsoft so great. That seems more fun to Mr Shuttleworth than going with anything smelling of openness which cant be corrupted or closed down.
I really do hope Canonical does this, it makes it so much easier to avoid this neo-fucktard storm-of-shitness hitting Linux these days..

As far as I understand, Compiz is the only compositing manager that can be extended/modified with plugins.

It's in a much better state than it was 2 years ago.

Also, without Compiz, how is Unity supposed to run on Wayland?

So if Compiz is out on account of fragmentation, that just leaves KWin, Mutter, Metacity, Xfwm, Openbox, Enlightenment, and a variety of much smaller projects. And those are just the tiling WMs!
I definite get the perspective of the fragmentation being bad. Having the QT / GTK split between KWin and Mutter seems inevitable, but I hope that the non-platform centric WMs can converge around Openbox, it seems to have the most traction.

Compiz Will Not Be Ported To Wayland
Phoronix: Compiz Will Not Be Ported To Wayland
The Compiz window manager is not going to be ported to Wayland. The lead Compiz developer also sees no reason to continue the compositing window manager's development beyond maintenance purposes...
