Re: Plans for early development of Convergence/Desktop Mode

 

Awesome, I'm in. Already loving the workflow I've gained by running apps on my tablet/phone and 14.10 desktop using qmlscene. Looking forward to being an early tester for the new convergence work.

Cheers,

Mitchell

Yes, running legacy x apps to some degree is something we're going to
be working on. Granted we need to get our legs underneath us for the
window management work you're seeing from Michael now. Hopefully in
the early part of next year we'll spend some effort on plumbing
rootless X into unity8/qtmir.

I'm interested in running Unity8 full time, however there are various X11
apps I use everyday - gimp, thunderbird, Zim, libreoffice, etc. Are there
still plans for having X11 support - and consequently apps that currently
depend upon it - running under app armor restrictions? Would love to see
that this cycle.

Thanks,

I would recommend having a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8inLXC for
now. I owe the wiki some updates and I plan to do a writeup on playing with
unity8 on the desktop very soon. I'd like to push more folks towards testing
it, and eventually running it full time. Fingers crossed we'll cross that
line this cycle.
