KDE Plasma 5 is superior in every way anyway why would anyone use Mir unity ubongo shit is beyond me.
Fucking cunts fracturing away from Wayland like right cocks.
Rankings:
>KDE Plasma
>XFCE
>Cinnamon
>Unity
>Gnome

KDE Plasma 5 fucking sucks; Unity, Gnome, Cinnamon, XFCE and LXDE are decent.

2016 will be the year of the javascript desktop. os.js.org

At least Unity 8 is written in Qt and going to remove the Amazon spyware, so it's two less memes to care about.
Unity 8 is also looking really good and Mir seems functional. Too bad Canonical isn't using Wayland, the community would benefit a lot.

Tell me why fuccboi, Ill fite you IRL

At this point I don't think they have any idea what they're doing.
>>52191996
If the OS will be running inside a web browser...what will the browser be running in, though?
>>52192014
It's in Qt? That's *actually* good to hear. If it were Wayland then I would be A-OK with it.
Mir's meme is that it's more secure right? Why can't they just make Wayland more secure, in whichever way they choose to define that?
>>52192014
Mir handles more things than wayland. Wayland doesn't even handle DPI scaling. Which is essential to what mir is trying to do.
This "year of the linux desktop" has been spouted before meme's were even a thing.
It truly is hopeless to cling onto a dead meme. All that awaits is despair.

>KDE Plasma 5 is superior
No. KDE 5 is a bug riddled piece of shit that was rushed out into the repos before it was ready. Some day your statement may be true, but as of now, nope.
>>52190774
>windows+dialogs designed for touch screens
When will this fucking Meme end. It's absolutely disgusting.
>>52192053
That's true. I still don't get the fuss about Mir. It's opensource and looks much better than Wayland.
Why the controversy then?
>>52192018
Because its ugly and it smells
Yeah dude new animations will totally be what makes people use linux

I dont know senpai looks pretty nice 2 me. Shit only uses like 150mb ram too.

What I hope is that ubuntu touch become a thing. It would be the first good smartphone OS, and a real free distribution.

Whatever. If Canonical do not makes ads, deals with big companies to sell pre-built computers and laptot with ubuntu pre-installed, they'll never succeed.
Holy fuck, when did Ubuntu start looking so clean?!?
>>52190774
No it won't. But then this time next year you'll be saying 2017 will. And then 2018.
Your grave stone will say; "Next year is the year of the Linux Desktop."
>>52190774
>putting lipstick on a pig
Hate to say it, but this still looks ugly. Can't Canonical hire a person with proper industrial design experience?
It's baffling to me that someone thought a wide audience would like the brown and color scheme. I understand the reasoning behind Unity, they thought the UI would be perfect for tablets and touch screens, but in reality Unity fails hard as a Desktop interface (or anything else really).

It will never be useful until you can do everything with a GUI and it's free of bugs and has relevant software and has games. Until Linux is more like windows, it will never be ready for desktop
