Why the Display Server DOES matter
- scrollaway 13y agoCanonical KNOWS they are wasting everyone else's man-hours on Mir and they know that it won't be kittens and roses. They just don't care.
- onli 13y agoThough in theory, "the toolkit should handle this" doesn't sound too bad. But it is probably not that surprising that it isn't true, as the toolkits worked so long mainly with X only, and not for stuff so close to X like window managers. That's why I liked this article, he shows good examples.
- bkor 13y agoIt is not just technology, see the addition by Aaron Seigo at http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2014/03/more-on-why-display-server-does-matter.html http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2014/03/more-on-why-display-serve.... I also wrote a blogpost about it: http://blogs.gnome.org/ovitters/2014/03/25/on-change-management-and-display-servers/ http://blogs.gnome.org/ovitters/2014/03/25/on-change-managem..., but then more stressing on ideas from change management theory vs the approach Canonical seems to be taking.
