Wayland 1.6 & GNOME 3.14 Are Shaping Up Well

[computerquip]

Fedora + RPMFusion is perfectly fine for "Nonfree" things like h.264 and the likes. Personally I was a big Arch'er up until about two years ago. Arch... you can see the holes. Like you can SEE that things were put together piece by piece, meanwhile with Fedora it seems more... integrated? You get the impression that its pieces fitting into a whole and that if there was a 'rough' spot that they tried to smooth over it. With Arch there's no smoothing.

You act like a distro is a layer of icing dude. Every distro is a bunch of various tools placed together, in an assorted fashion. The organization you're talking about just has to be done yourself.

Fedora if you want really "bleeding"-Edge stuff and u love freedom like gpl think about it, fedora is a really great distro. if you want only very stable (only when its upstream stable) stuff, u can use archlinux and it gives you good access to use unfree stuff.

Which is why I and many others use it every day as a desktop environment. Wait what? Oh, never mind it's just an idiot who thinks his opinion is fact.

Says the one who needs to insult others for expresing their opinions.

gnome 3.12 is not good for full screen games, i move out bacause of it, most of times he crash dota 2 when you minimize, i report the bug for gnome 3.10 for 3.12 and the bug continued, and it's not happen with unity or kde,... and the new directions they mad in this last versions are really bad

There are bugs in Gnome, some of them are even quite serious. Not sure what this has to do with the Gnome "being designed for tablets" nonsense.

But Ubuntu is pushing Mir, while I want Wayland!

I hope that Wayland 1.6 gets pushed to the upcoming Ubuntu.

Hmm why would u then not just switch to another distribution? There are so much good alternatives. There is Debian, ok even older than ubuntu, but especialy if you want to use a LTS release for several years anyway, Debian is very good about using a non-current version for several years.

Opensuse is also good for people that dont want to have the newest stuff but more stable... if you dont like that also mandrake is interesting.

Also last but not least (the opposite) u have if you want more or less new stuff archlinux and fedora is a option.

Fedora if you want really "bleeding"-Edge stuff and u love freedom like gpl think about it, fedora is a really great distro. if you want only very stable (only when its upstream stable) stuff, u can use archlinux and it gives you good access to use unfree stuff.

And even if you really love because u dont know better much about ubuntu, use mint instead, they should switch to wayland.

.. But, most (not all) of the linux community are wolves ..

Really? I got the impression that there are some wolves, some sheep and a lot of clowns supplemented by the occasional noob, eco-dude, no-bul**it-person, I-want-to-get-work-done person, rocker and a somewhat big camp of otaku.

It's open source and freedom, pretty much the antithesis of uniformity and dictatorship (which I think is cool).

You might notice that this is not in defense of Canonical for obvious reasons. I'm just convinced that your comparison is way off.

Gnome 3.12 is a unusable piece of shit (no offense, it's just designed for tablets both the environment and the applications and I liked it until 3.8 and I'm now in 3.10, from this point it's no longer suitable for a desktop, applications are turning really weird) and I think 3.14 will be worse. At least we'll have Wayland which is nice.

It is in Debian Jessie.

The problem is that I doubt Gnome 3.14 will be on Jessie.

So, you'll have Wayland 1.5 but no Desktop environment to use it.
