- maximente 7y agoafter using a non-distribution based OS (purely package-based) i really can't look back. previously it was sort of lame that i couldn't get a new emacs because a completely unrelated package like a newer python or whatever was unavailable and stuck behind a new release; now it's just unacceptable in all forms.

- _spoonman 7y agoAre ubuntu's snaps supposed to be similar to this?
- AdmiralAsshat 7y agoIsn't this a beta?

- rezeroed 7y ago"known touchpad issues" - yesterday mine started losing tap-to-click every 30 mins. Have to disable then enable the pad. I'm on 19.1 with kernel 5.1.16 - we'll see what happens with 19.2.
- ben509 7y ago> By reporting these issues earlier we go from a situation where the user doesn't understand why Samba isn't working, to a situation where an explicit warning and a clue are given the minute an issue might require the user's attention. It's really nice to see useful warnings and guidance being provided over "you're doing it wrong" error messages. This is critical in making the system usable. (And especially with file sharing where the multiple overlapping permissions can't be avoided and are horribly counter-intuitive.)
