KDE and Canonical Developers Disagree Over Display Server

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-meeting-of-the-minds dept.

sfcrazy (1542989) writes "Robert Ancell, a Canonical software engineer, wrote a blog titled 'Why the display server doesn't matter', arguing that: 'Display servers are the component in the display stack that seems to hog a lot of the limelight. I think this is a bit of a mistake, as it’s actually probably the least important component, at least to a user.' KDE developers, who do have long experience with Qt (something Canonical is moving towards for its mobile ambitions), have refuted Bob's claims and said that display server does matter."

    This is all horseshit anyway. Any decent windowing system would be implemented with ncurses.
