Ubuntu 13.10 Will Not Ship Mir By Default 165
An anonymous reader writes "Ubuntu 13.10 is due for release later this month, and the Ubuntu developers were planning to replace the native X Server with Mir/XMir as Canonical's next-generation Ubuntu display server. However, they have now decided Mir will not be the Ubuntu 13.10 default on the desktop over the XMir X11 compatibility layer suffering multi-monitor issues and other problems. Canonical still says they will use Mir for Ubuntu Touch 13.10 images and remain committed to the Mir project."

One question: what do you think Wayland and Mir will look like in five years, especially if you're leaving out highly desirable features from day one?
Dude seriously. The latency of X is killing me. Have you seen, the signals have to make 4 extra IPC calls before they're seen by the application. By my count that adds at least 40ms of latency.
Oh hang on a mo.
Looks like the turbo button isn't pressed and my 386 SX/25 was only running at 4MHz.
