Ubuntu's Mir Gets Delayed Again
jones_supa writes "Delays keep piling up for the Mir display server on the Ubuntu desktop. After already being postponed multiple times, Mir might not be enabled by default on the Ubuntu Linux desktop until the 16.04 LTS release — in two years time! This was the estimate by Mark Shuttleworth in a virtual Ubuntu Developer Summit. Using Mir, Mark says, will lead to supporting more hardware, obtaining better performance, and 'do some great things' with the technology. He expects some users will start using Mir on the desktop over the next year. Mir is already packaged as an experimental option, along with an experimental Unity 8 desktop session."
That's Linux in general. Eventually you realize that Linux isn't worth the trouble and that it isn't fun anymore and that you have better stuff to do in your free time, and so you switch back to Windows.
In it's time? Solaris is still available and WIDELY USED in industrial and scientific worlds.
Where are you getting your Unix information because it seems to be pretty messed up.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
