[00:00] <pleia2> I think they're doing a pretty good job, short of actually writing the Mir support for every DE
[00:16] <rww> GNUdru: Can you address the point I made earlier? Specifically, as far as I know Xmir covers X compatibility, so programs that work on Xorg (including, say, openbox and xfce...) should work fine on Mir.
[00:17] <rww> Thus it would seem to me that the "followable trail" is to use xorg for the next release or two, then switch to xmir, and in the meantime maybe find a developer to make a mir backend for their window manager (or not and just continue using xmir)
[00:17] <rww> but perhaps my understanding is flawed, since I haven't read every single mailing list post about this :)
[00:23] <pleia2> rww: strictly speaking they don't even need to stay on xorg, they all work with XMir now http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM5NDQ
[00:23] <darthrobot> Title: [[Phoronix] Xfce, LXDE, & GNOME Are Running On Ubuntu XMir]
[00:24] <pleia2> I think the question is whether Mir is ready for prime time, which is probably why LXDE is sticking with xorg this cycle
[00:42] <philipballew> Always been a fan of LXDE
[07:53] <rww> pleia2: Indeed. The "next release or two" bit was so the Ubuntu users can find all the bugs first ;)
