But then again, FOSS people always seem hellbent on creating and destroying so they are forever at 1%. Anything more and they equate it with selling out....
      Classic BO$$. Waiting to see how many people will fall for his trolling again. I put the over/under at 3.

        Nonsense. Application developers code against frameworks like GTK, Qt, EFL. They couldn't care less which display server is in use. You as a self proclaimed expert should know that, if you really don't then this post shows nothing but you not knowing what you are talking about.

          Seeing as how Canonical is writing their apps in Qt, I think it's pretty safe to assume they will.

          Even if it means Ubuntu will come with a version of Qt they've patched to run on Mir.

At this point the tehnical merits of Wayland and Mir don't even count. Mir is on Ubuntu which is the most popular so people need to support it. It's that simple. Not supporting it means suicide. If everybody commits suicide then Ubuntu dies also. Then Linux dies.
            LOL.

            Yeah, no trolling there. You're all just plain hard facts with no embellishment at all.

              But I thought everything magically worked on Mir, and only Wayland had problems. Isn't that what you've been telling us for months?

                It depends on the given implementation.

                Do I have to spell out Borat references these days?

                  Version 0.1.1? Well that sounds...encouraging.

                    Every article of Mir here reminds me of this article here:



                    The next major transition for Unity will be to deliver it on Wayland, the OpenGL-based display management system. We?d like to embrace Wayland early, as much of the work we?re doing on uTouch and other input systems will be relevant for Wayland and it?s an area we can make a useful contribution to the project.

                    We?re confident we?ll be able to retain the ability to run X applications in a compatibility mode, so this is not a transition that needs to reset the world of desktop free software. Nor is it a transition everyone needs to make at the same time: for the same reason we?ll keep investing in the 2D experience on Ubuntu despite also believing that Unity, with all its GL dependencies, is the best interface for the desktop. We?ll help GNOME and KDE with the transition, there?s no reason for them not to be there on day one either.
