Canonical Continues Working On XMir Performance

[Awesomeness]

If we do not correct his wrong statements some people may believe that he is actually right.

Doubt that?

[dee.]

Doubt that?

Never doubt the amount of stupidity people let their children get away with. I guess some people are just selfish and don't care about the gene pool...

After all, bo$$ is still alive.

[dee.]

You can laugh all you want. Mir is coming in Ubuntu 13.10, the most popular Linux desktop. Wayland comes to Rebecca Linux yay....

How many times did your mom drop you on your head when you were a babby?

I don't know which option is worse - that you're actually stupid enough to believe the crap you spout, or you think you're being a clever troll with this material...

Even while running the desktop environment on XMir it still could provide real value for the user by running Mir as a system compsitor
(requires LightDM to be fully working on pure Mir)
Seamless Login without flickering, jumps and shit.
The greater as lockscreen.
Flicker free shutdown.

I don't know if it will be run as this on 13.10 but pleas don't say that XMir on Mir is worthless for the user.
True you are missing a lot of things that Mir/Wayland could do better but it's far from worthless.

XMir can't handle none of that neither is designed for it and Xserver is the one doing the job not Mir and Mir is not a system compositor is a session compositor and yes is 100% worthless for the user

bootup and shutdown process are independant of Mir or Wayland and will be handled by a system compositor[read is a security kernel side police not a global compiz] later maybe for kernel 3.13 since render nodes and other patches need to reach upstream first.

Mir is in the start line, for now is a glorified page flipper with a very long list of TODO, wait until at least reach 50% of that TODO list to see if it worth the lost of time

please don't imply things out of your ass without investigate first, bo$$ is enough for uneducated posts

I'm pretty sure that the idea from Canonical is that when they have Unity 8 ready and fully working with Mir, they could still support other desktop environments that are still running under X and don't offer native support for Mir.

So the better they get XMir working the better they can support other DE when Unity 8 is ready

by the time Mir see an proper release KDE SC, Gnome, EFL, LXDE, etc will be wayland native with only X support for fallback and since Mir/Wayland don't seem to get propietary support for now i really fail to see the point of making a Fullscreen session Xserver run atop of a page flipper for this since whatever the case you have to switch back to native Xorg.

beyond that most DE reported issue running a top XMir that won't be fixed upstream, which lead to the basic question, why XMir now??

This is a really good point

there is 100% no point of using Xmir, Xorg is faster, Xorg has better power management, Xmir is rooted just like Xorg, and to top that off Canonical can't even make Xmir run on the Nvidia or AMD OpenSource Driver's and, this Mir is just Vaporware as user's can only see and use Xmir any ways

[LinuxGamer]

So if there is no point of Xmir then why do Canonical keep pushing it? Could there be something that you don't know?

Canonical is just Forcing Beta Tester's, this is going to end up bad for Linux, as many will go back to Window's or, Mac and, also Developers will go back to Windows, or Mac,

as a lot of Main Line Developers do not like Change in Code/API's and this is why Window's has been doing so well for so many year's

Who gives a fuck
The thread is about Xmir performance not about how much better and production ready you believe wayland is.
It would be nice if the trolling Canonical crew would stop derailing every single Ubuntu related thread.Surely you have made your point you prefer wayland. It would be even nicer if the generalisations made that every ubuntu user, community and Canonical developers, are complete morons..... stopped!!

It's a shame your writing style doesn't reflect the 133t genius Gentoo tard you proclaim to be.

are you really this stupid? the unity 7/8 mir road map is pretty clear.
Step 1 unity 7 running on xmir for 13.10 ( of course their are still some things that need to be fixed)
Step 2 unity 8 lands sometime between 13.10 and 14.04 with native mir support so if users/developers wish it can be tested before hitting 14.04 .

I nominate you as one the lamest canonical trolls Phoronix has ever seen.
