What happened to Mir if Wayland is the only viable x11 alternative?
A cruel friend has suggested everything touched by Ubuntu billionaire founder Shuttleworth turns to manure but I think this isn't so helpful to understand why Mir seemingly died completely? Even GnuHurd hasn't died so dramatically..?
- gmueckl 7y agoDue to the huge PR fuckup that was the Mir announcement, they never gained much traction in the greater community. And a display stack needs a lot of community support across the whole ecosystem: kernel support, kernel drivers, user space drivers, widget libraries, applications etc... none of these parties were willing to support Mir in any way.
