Re:Canonical pretends Mir never existed, bloggers jump on cue by tannhaeuser on Tuesday January 30, 2018 @08:19AM (#16264986)
I guess the real story is that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will use X.org by default, rather than Wayland [1]. Canonical "pretending Mir never existed" is just click bait. Personally, I found Unity not half-bad, and am not looking forward to gnome-shell from what little I know, eg. for its wasteful menu-per-window attachment rather than Mac OS style global menus alone.

Click-bait, precisely to illustrate a point. The real story comes after. Did you actually read it? It has nothing to do with which DE Ubuntu chooses to favour ATM.
