[FAQ] Ubuntu GNOME & The Display Server

[Steve Ovens]

Hi Ali,

I believe in the FAQ there should be some more detail. I know both Wayland
and Mir are premature, but putting that in the FAQ without a detailed
description of each seems lacking to me.  My proposal would be to either
change the title to something like "But what if Ubuntu chooses a different
display manager?" as opposed to a "X vs Mir vs Wayland" which may help to
set and meet expectations better. If I am looking for X vs Wayland vs Mir,
then I am fairly technical and I would expect some sort of comparison.

Just my thoughts
