How? You may ask?

In throwing its weight behind the tech it’s signalling that it’s ready for wider attention - which could help motivate projects to improve their Wayland support.Īnd its adoption could spearhead the arrival of new technologies like Pipewire to the Ubuntu desktop. Ubuntu is a Goliath where it leads others follow. We believe now is the right time to try again, it should give us enough time before the next LTS to get proper feedback and sort out issues.” Ubuntu’s Sebastien Bacher explains: “some of the blockers we found back then got resolved (desktop sharing), and that’s where the upstream focus is going. “We believe now is the right time to try again, it should give us enough time before the next LTS to get proper feedback”
