This is great news for the Free Desktop.
Ubuntu is really setting itself apart as its own OS rather than just another Linux distro.
It might take about two years for this whole thing to sort of stabilize (Wayland + Unity), but when it does, Ubuntu will be kick-ass like it's never been before.
I love it when people step outside the box.

- hasenj 16y agoIt would be great to see Fedora using it too, but I don't know if that will happen. RHEL is not likely to use it, IMO, because it's not network-transparent. And f RHEL won't use it, Fedora probably won't use it. That said, what's setting Ubuntu apart is the fact they're moving away from the traditional stack (X -> GNOME). This is significant enough IMO. Other distros might follow, and in that case, there will be two kinda of distros: those that use X, and those that use Wayland.
