Re: [Ubuntu-PH] Ubuntu ditches X for Wayland..
I agree. Most users will only be using the upper graphical layer anyway (eg. mouse clicking) so I don't see any huge hindrance for the common user regarding the Wayland switch. I expect the graphics layer to be much faster than it currently is, considering that compositor dialogue will be much more direct than what's happening currently with X. Again, exciting :). I'm looking forward to this. On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 7:22 AM, Allan E.
