> By switching to GNOME, Canonical is also giving up on Mir and moving to the Wayland display server, another contender for replacing the X window system. Given the separate development paths of Mir and Wayland, "we have no real choice but to use Wayland when Ubuntu switches to GNOME by default," Hall told Ars. "Using Mir simply isn't an option we have."
- phkahler 10y agoThis is the one part of the announcement that is a clear benefit. MIR has always been unique to Ubuntu and a waste of effort. If they put even half of the resources behind Wayland and Gnome, the remaining issues with them should get resolved quickly.
