The "Unity 8 in Desktop Mode" was shown off during a show and tell session during today's online summit. Various Canonical developers were showing off their Unity 8 desktop work on different devices, including early work on windowed mode support and the first bits of getting Qt Creator up and running on Unity 8. Questions from the community were also addressed during the session.
GNOME Terminal and Gedit have started running to some extent on Unity 8 with Mir, but issues being encountered are similar to those encountered by early Wayland porters with issues around applications having direct X11 calls that need to be worked around.
