Mir: First Hands On

Brought to you by: System76

• Dividing the Linux desktop [LWN.net]

• The Wayland Situation: Facts About X vs. Wayland

• Chris posts screenshot, inspires comment war

• Ubuntu’s Mir plans cause divisions

• Martin Gräßlin – Google+ – I just invested the time to watch this “Kubuntu on XMir”…

• Why is X11 obsolete? I don’t get it

Hands on experiences:

• Intel driver works best. Nouveau will work, but it failed on me fast.
• ATI oss driver was a no go. Gave me crazy results.
• Installing a proprietary driver automatically reverts you to standard X via Xmir’s pre-flight checks.
• Double mouse cursor – A result of the fact that all Mir is doing is providing a single full screen texture within which an x11 session is doing all the work. Which means Mir is doing nothing beyond the frame, for all intents and purposes.

More on Mir:

• Installing and testing Ubuntu’s Mir server
