    As others already said Kubuntu and Lubuntu publicly announced their plans and won't use Mir (at least for now). Ubuntu Gnome developer said in Ubuntu dev mailing list that their plan is to migrate to...
  2. Re: Marks Shuttleworth's message to all Ubuntu haters.

    Re: Mir: Stop this train before it derails Ubuntu.

    You insist, so this seems important for you, but you are mixing different questions so it's a bit difficult to understand what you ask, let me try:

    If you fell inclined to test the Wayland waters there are currently several places you could start, these are some that I could remember, not that I tried them personally:

    If you want Unity you should use Ubuntu. Unity has not been designed with portability in mind and although there are some experimental ports for Fedora, OpenSuse and Arch, one shouldn't expect them...

    Precisely, the article I linked has been written by the Jolla engineer that develops libhybris, I'll quote the Ubuntu-related part:
