What's with the hate?
It is so annoying to see all this hate against Canonical and Ubuntu.
Among all GNU/Linux distributions, Canonical and the Ubuntu communities has been doing the most work to get the full stack of free software to the masses.
You can have some good software, but if the last 5% in terms of usability and polish is lacking, noone is going to use it.
Wayland developers: If something needs changing on a Wiki, ask politely to have it ammended.
Phoronix: Writing divisive articles just to get readership is more likely to sink the ship than make it stronger.

I just hope a Wayland smartphone vendor (most likely a Sailfish one) beats them to the punch...
Or if not, then I hope they're not far behind, & that the implementation is as a versatile/stable/snappy (or more) as Mir.

Canonical could have helped linux but since linux was so against it they will have to leave them behind if they want to succeed. And that is what they are doing. They used linux while linux was on a relatively good path but since now it all goes to hell with all these clueless community leaders what do you want them to do?
we may finally see a true new operating system named Ubuntu
Ubuntu is going up and you will inevitably go down into oblivion.

They used linux while linux was on a relatively good path but since now it all goes to hell with all these clueless community leaders what do you want them to do? Canonical has made the decision to diverge from the linux community because the community is against progress in the interest of the end user. This is an ambitious goal and we may finally see a true new operating system named Ubuntu that actually has a chance against Windows.
Sorry fedora openSuse arch and all others but you had no chance to be competitive. All you could do was try to hang on Canonical for as long as you could but your arrogance and ignorance kept you from doing that. Ubuntu is going up and you will inevitably go down into oblivion.
Get this into your heads: Canonical isn't rewriting so many pieces of OS because they have nothing better to do but because the linux community wasn't aligned with their goal of providing a great OS for the masses. This whole community finds it more important to be right than to be rich.
LOL
