Ubuntu Delays Wayland Plans, System Compositor

Posted by timothy on from the differentiation-has-downsides dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Wayland-usage in Ubuntu 12.10 via setting it up as a system video compositor has been delayed to at least Ubuntu 13.04. Developers made progress on running Ubuntu on Wayland (there are experimental packages available), but they need more time to complete their work and ready Wayland. For those wanting to try out Wayland on Linux, there is a specialty Wayland LiveCD."

    Ubuntu is the Windows of the Linux world, with Canonical being equivalent to Microsoft.

    The only difference is Windows for all its warts, flaws, and promised features never delivered, is actually a usable platform. Where as Ubuntu is just a broken version of an otherwise useful Debian.
