Don't think so, and Ubuntu (creator of Mir) don't use it for desktop
anymore so I wouldn't expect to find anyone using it.

I don't think either DragonFly or FreeBSD offer a GUI in their live
images so that will be your first problem.

I suspect this is a case where Linux, with its abundunce of paid
developers which means most major distributions have live gui images,
might be a better choice (though I could be wrong about the state of
things on the *bsd side).
