Stone: Ubuntu rejoins the GNOME fold Daniel Stone considers
the future of the Linux desktop in the light of Ubuntu's return to
GNOME. " The world in 2017, however, is a very different place. KMS
provides us truly device-independent display control, Vulkan and EGL
provide us GPU acceleration independent of window system, xkbcommon
provides shared keyboard mechanics, and logind lets us do all these things
without ever being root. GBM allocates our buffers, and the universal
allocator, borne out of discussions with the whole community including
NVIDIA, will soon join the family.
Mir leans heavily on all these technologies, so the change is a bit less
seismic than you might think." |
