Originally posted by r_a_trip View PostNo it doesn't. GTK, Qt, EFL, Gnome, KDE and Enlightenment have already announced their support for Wayland and are currently in the process of porting their software to it. Wayland is a bit like building a hydro-electric dam. There is a lot of work involved, for a long time there is this big thing that doesn't do much, but when it is finished and the valves are closed, a very large artificial lake forms and power comes from the dam. Wayland is in the stage where the closing of the valves isn't far off.Last edited by TheBlackCat; 10 July 2013, 07:26 AM.

Originally posted by Ubuntu-devel graphic stack roadmapUbuntu 13.10:
XMir on Mir by default, with a fallback session to X where there is no Mir
driver support, supported for 9 months
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
XMir as default with the fallback session removed, full Mir driver support,
traditional LTS support for 5 years

I am wondering, both Kubuntu and Lubuntu stated they want to ship X as default in 14.04 - does that mean at 14.04, these flavours will need to ship/maintain their own X stack? As Ubuntu will not offer the fallback session anymore, only X through Xmir?

Finally, yes, I think Wayland is repeating the mistakes of X, and I would like to have a fast, lean, clean option that does not.

Does anyone have an idea what he is talking about?
i wonder if the smoother feeling is simply half a placebo and half the use of the new mesa dev version 9.2...

therefore its leaner and will have a couple of decisions made like possbility of using prop drivers for gamers and steam-users.
I have really no idea what Shuttleworth means when he says
"Finally, yes, I think Wayland is repeating the mistakes of X" .

Then again, maybe it's just part of plan to ignite a highly emotional "discussion"
and tear apart the Linux community as a first step to separate from the rest.

From that same Shuttleworth blog comment, that bloddy PR non-answer answer:
QUESTION Brian: Is there a plan to go closed source at some point? Its clear that seems to be within the realm of possibility.
ANSWER Marc: Mir is open source ? GPL ? just like pretty much everything we do.
