Canonical Collecting Wish List Ideas For Improving Mir

([Ubuntu] 56 Minutes Ago How To Improve Mir)


With Ubuntu 26.04 LTS quickly approaching release next week, Canonical is beginning more of their road-mapping for Ubuntu 26.10 and beyond. To help in plotting future work, Canonical is interested in feedback for features or improvements that developers/users would like to see around their Mir project.

The Mir code in modern times is a set of libraries for helping to build Wayland-based shells. Mir has been used to bring some desktops to a Wayland-based world while it's also been used in more unique applications like [1]running on smart exercise mirrors and other devices :

MichaƂ Sawicz of Canonical sent out a call for feedback in helping to prioriritize development tasks for Mir in Ubuntu 26.10 and beyond. Among the feedback desired are missing items when developing on Mir or using Mir-based sessions. Those interested in supplying feedback on Mir future development wish list items can be done via [2]this Ubuntu Discourse thread .

What do you want to see out of Mir?

The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age,
But that don't bother me none; in my eyes you're everything.
I know I keep you amused,
But I feel I'm being used.
Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face.

You took me away from home,
Just to save you from being alone;
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts.

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school,
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool,
Or find myself a rock 'n' roll band,
That needs a helping hand,
Oh, Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face.

You made a first-class fool out of me,
But I'm as blind as a fool can be.
You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without.
-- Rod Stewart, "Maggie May"
