You already are you are running Linux. It doesn't get more different than that! ;)

It depends what you use your computer for:

You could buy or find some FOSS games and play them. Today you have great games running on Linux.

You could make 3D multimedia project with Blender or...

Yes it could go both ways it could "hurt" Ubuntu to some extend or it could make Ubuntu accepted and viable upstream in certain areas and i guess we will not have to wait too long to see the...

Intel investing that much in Wayland and not providing support for it? Intel ALREADY supports both you know that don't you? About only one FOSS OS specific EGL driver blob... Well we will see...

You just needed an excuse didn't you. ;)

P.S. After you buy your brand new toy test that bricked scanner on it to see if it works!

Not true Intel and AMD do provide (official) support for Wayland/Mir. How else would i be able to test both on Intel/AMD hardware if they wouldn't? About the blobs i don't quite get why somebody...

Yes basically the replay does say they are working on it. Great news!

Probably after Valve laid out serious plans to bring it's service to Linux it probably does make sense for companies...

Priceless... Quite a shame we will probably be saying good bye to Compiz in next dev cycle. But there will probably be this new thing called Unity 8 and i hope it will meet my expectations.

Thanks for this CD. I always thought Ubuntu would be the first distribution i would test Wayland on but it wasn't!

I liked testing mplayer the most and i got great results! Thanks again!

This is what we tester wanted all along yes. Once it will be polished there will be no double cursor anymore...

Where will be the fun in that!

And said that regarding this thread i will just wait for some serious adoption and that is about it. This is basically what we all want to happen and it should help everybody.

Then we can talk...

Not true. System76 does that for example and i doubt they serve the whole 1%. There are DELL laptops:

And every now and then you find hardware with...

I think we will be using Mir, X11/Xorg, Wayland based solutions for quite some time and there is no need for ultimatums like that.



Sure they will as they already do in a way and this will...

It's not depersonalizing it's standard procedure.



More work for Canonical.



Will remain working in my opinion for foreseeable future just like they do now and there will be some new...

Or wait to actually see some braking and then act. That could be sane strategy IMO too.

OP said he does not use Unity that is why i asked him why does he have strong opinion on something he does not use in the first place. He insist Mir should be Wayland compatible right from the...

But you and other DEs would probably still not be using it? It's a bit pointless then to debate strongly over the decisions made isn't it?

P.S. First somebody has to beat X11/Xorg in a meaningful...

I guess ATM you could test it on ARM based device but reading this:

http://iloveubuntu.net/lightdm-174-landed-ubuntu-1310-mir-based-unity-support

I think Unity 8 could land on some PPA or to be...

Sure it will be. Probably it will be more fun because you will have much more choices when it comes to display servers and currently you don't have that.



Nobody said Unity 8 on Mir will be...

They expect other to use Weston or to implement support for the protocol by themselve.

Probably in the end every DE will implement it's own solution to be Wayland/Mir compatible.

Yes as i said earlier multi monitor support is not available yet.



I agree.

Probably it would if you would disconnect TV set first and then booted the netbook?

Yes maybe other would use it or maybe not. We will see soon how much DEs will or will not use Weston for example and will do things differently in the future. There is no guarantee anybody else would...
