Το Ubuntu δεν θα έχει Xorg , ούτε Wayland; Τι θα έχει;

Red Hat's Matthias Clasen took a proposal on Tuesday to the GNOME release team. Matthias and several other GNOME developers met with Kristian last week to talk about GNOME plans for Wayland. "So far, we've silently assumed that Wayland is the future display system on Linux, and that we will get to using it eventually...The recent Mir announcement makes it a bit more urgent that we put our weight behind Wayland and help it reach its full potential. Doing this also fits our mandate from last Guadec to set stronger technical directions."

Finishing up GNOME support for Wayland is to big to get done in one development cycle but Clasen proposes that it be completed over two development cycles. "By the fall, have gnome-shell optionally work as a Wayland compositor, and have the gtk backend substantially complete - by next spring, have a complete port of all desktop functionality. Making applications run natively can happen independently at its own speed - we will support X clients transparently."

This would mean that by spring of 2014, GNOME 3.12 will be a complete port of GNOME to Wayland.

Τα ίδια πάνω κάτω ισχύουν και για το KDE.
Και μετά λένε πως η Canonical δεν προσφέρει στο Linux...ας μην ανακοίνωνε τον Mir το Ubuntu και ούτε το 2020 δεν θα τελείωνε το port στον Wayland.
Όπως και να το κάνουμε, και το «θέλω να ψοφήσει η κατσίκα του γείτονα» πάντα αποτελούσε κίνητρο.

Αυτό που μου κάνει εντύπωση είναι πως ισχύει και για άλλους εκτός από εμάς τους Έλληνες.

Όλοι άνθρωποι είμαστε.

Βέβαια για το συγκεκριμένο, από το σημείο όπου «πρέπει να μαζευτούμε να το κάνουμε» μέχρι το σημείο «το φτιάξαμε», υπάρχει απόσταση.
Μακάρι να τους πάνε όλα καλά. Και σε αυτούς και στην Canonical.

Διαβάζω πως το RebeccaBlackOS live cd, είναι σε wayland

Όποιος έχει Nvidia -πρέπει να αλλάξω, δεν λέει- και θέλει, μπορεί να τον δει.
Δουλεύουν λένε και ορισμένες εφαρμογές, όπως ο firefox.
