Ubuntu 12.10 Grows Ambitious Wayland Plans

LOL! And what of the massive number of people running NVIDIA cards? They're suddenly SOL? The world isn't all on AMD and Intel.

For them, there is nouveau which works fine enough for compositing and basic 3d.

People who insist on unsupported 3rd party binary modules will have to continue jumping through hoops, like they are doing now.

Indeed, this sounds like vaporware since Wayland v. 0.90, 0.95 and 1.0 have yet to be released, hence don't expect v1.0 this Summer, rather by December at best.

Yes. Canonical announced great Wayland plans all the time but to this day not a single Canonical developer has ever contributed just one line of code to Wayland. Canonical, as usual, just lets Red Hat and (in this case) Intel handle all the work. Typical Canonical parasite behavior.

Not true, there are 15 lines of code in Wayland from Canonical :P
(Yes, I actually counted.)
