If that's the case, why would Canonical lobby hard to patch Mir into KDE?
- otoburb 13y agoBecause KDE is still relevant in terms of desktop market share/adoption %. They should not give that share up without a "fight", although they may prefer to use a word like "trying".
- Mikeb85 13y agoBecause they don't want to break functionality and get blamed for things. If people refuse to support them though, that's another issue. And it IS ridiculous that KDE continues to support Windows but won't support Mir..
- kdrx 13y agoKWin doesn't support Windows
- frankzinger 13y agoAs Martin points out elsewhere, the only reason KDE supports Windows is because QT does and it therefore requires almost no effort.
- general_failure 13y agoNobody lobbied hard. Somebody sent somebody some mails and all of a sudden it's made out as if canonical was lobbying very hard and putting major pressure. I refuse to believe there was major lobbying until I see actual emails (and the number of emails).
- dagw 13y agoIt wasn't just "someone", it was Mark Shuttleworth taking time out of his day to attack the person in a public blog post. That's pretty major no matter which way you look at it.
