I think this is notable because Intel as a company is taking this stand against Canonical. Canonical in the long run is going to need support from the other two major graphics hardware vendors to make this work well. Having Intel already come out against it isn't a good start.
- possibilistic 13y agoPerhaps Canonical shouldn't have used FUD against Wayland (which is heavily contributed to by Intel).
- mdellabitta 13y agoJust to play devil's advocate, did they spread FUD, or just say it didn't suit their purposes?
- Jasper_ 13y agoTheir initial comments for why Wayland didn't suit their purposes were misguided and incorrect, and Wayland supported all of the features they said it wouldn't. Ignorance isn't really FUD, but both their incorrect comments and their want to do their own thing hurt Wayland a lot.
- wtallis 13y agoThe consensus from many high-profile non-Ubuntu developers was that their criticisms of Wayland reflected worse on Ubuntu than Wayland. They did say vaguely that Wayland didn't suit their purposes, but none of the specifics they provided turned out to be valid, and some of their criticism included alluding to potential security issues in Wayland that never existed.
