Not sure if you've actually read it. What's the point of calling out bullshit on crap "reporting" and hype? Nothing. The rant. Giving people a chance to vent, call it names, when they just don't get what it's about. Reading comprehension is at an all-time low, so such pieces are necessary.

(That said, I get it. Hype is everything, whatever does not stink of the "latest tech trend" must be bad. Sad day to be a reader, indeed.)

#5I guess the real story is that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will use X.org by default, rather than Wayland [1]. Canonical "pretending Mir never existed" is just click bait. Personally, I found Unity not half-bad, and am not looking forward to gnome-shell from what little I know, eg. for its wasteful menu-per-window attachment rather than Mac OS style global menus alone.

Click-bait, precisely to illustrate a point. The real story comes after. Did you actually read it? It has nothing to do with which DE Ubuntu chooses to favour ATM.

#8For those, who still find it challenging, see here:
> "But apparently everybody either forgets or disregards the fact that Canonical is partly responsible for Wayland being nowhere near production grade after 10 years."
Then the article goes on to state that wasting time and resources on a never finished and casually abandoned project (Mir) has a lot to do with Wayland not being production grade after a decade.
Come on, it's really not a difficult read. Although some of the subtext of the article seems to be proven by the comments here...

Downvoting is a mature way of communication. Congratz. :)

The time and resources spent on Mir have nothing to do with Wayland not being ready for production. It was wasted not doing other things at Canonical; who had, and still have, no obligation to make Wayland better.
(And complaining that nobody gets your article says more about you than them.)
