I just fired up the beta on my MacBook Pro (which hasn't had an upgrade since 7.10) and... wow.
No hardware issues, everything installed itself, even my keys light up again. Multiple monitor support has gone from being a 3 hour configuration nightmare to two clicks.
Far and away the best bit is the UI polish. It seems to have everything functional I liked about clunky old KDE 3.x (window shading! focus on mouse!) plus all the good bits they could swipe from OS X and Vista.
However I wish they would enable the dark theme by default, it looks much better than the light one. None of the review screen shots do it justice.
- natrius 18y agoThe dark theme is nice until you open Firefox. Web pages weren't designed with dark buttons, checkboxes and text inputs in mind.
- jonas_b 18y agoTo me, the first thing they should get to look nice is firefox. Everything else is secondary. I don't understand when people complain that "XY release sucks because they included the wrong BitTorrent client". I've read serious reviewers stating this. They need to become discriminate about what they include in their releases, to curate their art, as Jason Fried would say.
