Shuttleworth On Mir: "A Fantastic Piece of Engineering"

[e8hffff]

Let's look at the most popular Android ROM CyanogenMod.

I bet Mark's approach will be to garner a user base that will lead to greater uptake, so don't get ahead of yourself. We are talking about Linux here, and Mark has been the only one to get it into the mainstream so far, so put some trust in him to take it further.

Without Mark and Ubuntu, Linux would be still in the dark ages. Ubuntu has brought competition by their sheer innovation, causing other players to be doing catchup.

So Martin Gräßlin thinks he owns Kubuntu or KDE based Ubuntu. Is this a case of tall poppy-syndrome of people not liking Mark's success?

Ubuntu is kicking butt. Just accept it, it's quality and vision that others are lacking.

He "owns" kwin though, he's the main kwin developer for upstream KDE. kubuntu generally doesn't do any development of KDE itself afiak, so if he says kwin won't support mir I'd say thats accurate, since he's one of the people actually coding kwin.

How is Ubuntu in the mainstream? Go out to town stop 100 people and ask them what computer operating systems they know.
Haven't seen a Ubuntu fanboy in so much denial for a long time.

My statement is still correct. If Martin plays politics then he's doing himself and KDE, a disservice.

I use Kubuntu myself. I want it moving forward, not go stale with the likes of other distributions who put little effort in concurrency and size of their repositories, or KDE versions. Canonical has also made KDE what it is today, by their support for Kubuntu.

Wake up and smell the flowers(roses) is an appropriate saying.

Just admit it you're a bitter person and can't stand for Ubuntu to go big.

[phoen1x]

Are you Mark Shuttleworth? I'm kinda sick of this retarded bs again and again and again.

[MartinN]

I'd love for Ubuntu to go big - on Wayland.

Edited: Let me be even more clear, I want Canonical to go Apple big while on Wayland. While not flipping the bird to Wayland/X.org.

This made me laugh

[asdx]

He still doesn’t own KWin. He should be supporting the best solutions, and if that's Mir, do it. If he plays politics then he should be booted by the community.

KDE has a lot to gain with Ubuntu's move into QT.

Qt. Not QT.

At least 4 kubuntu developers are working for Blue Systems now

Hell from what I see Blue Systems have developers in almost every core KDE project
