Ubuntu’s Mir display server may not be default on desktop until 2016 (ars technica)

Ars technica reports on the virtual Ubuntu Developer Summit (vUDS) keynote from Canonical's Mark Shuttleworth. "On the desktop, users can install Mir themselves, but it won't be turned on by default for everyone just yet. 'My expectation is that within the next 12 months you will see lots of people running Mir as their default display server, and by 16.04 it will be the default display server,' Shuttleworth said. 'There's lots of reasons why that will let us support more hardware, let us get much better performance, and let us do great things with some of the software companies we care about, who want to squeeze every bit of performance out of the hardware you've got.'"
