- voidfunc 4y agoI totally forgot about Mir.
- worik 4y agoUnity. Especially the first version
- Tsiklon 4y agoI grew to like Unity as time passed, the global menu, and the global search was great. Its initial launch was rough, but given how poorly Gnome 3 was received I think it was a valid path to explore
- worik 4y agoThey could have debugged it before the upgrade forced it on users. It was awful.
- torginus 4y agoI'm not sure about that - Wayland hasn't exactly been a runaway success either. The 2 key issues with Wayland, the fact that it's a protocol, meaning a lot of stuff needs to be handled by the window manager that was handled by the platform before, and its opinionated design, that made it very hard to port software that wasn't designed exactly how it wanted to be, meant adoption was (and is) very slow, and still kind of ongoing. Mir didn't have these issues.
