I realise its not even an alpha yet but are people using it?

As usual my current desktop is getting flaky due to the immense amount of
testing, custom builds etc - time for a fresh reinstall. really liking 4.8 so
considering trying 12.04, on a different partition of course.

I use it from the beginning : I am very surprised how 12.04 is so good
up to now

I installed daily livecd to avoid too much update.
thanks all ubuntu and open people who do such a good work

regards
Henri

Another vote "yes" here. My secondary machine is built up through the expert-
mode CLI from the netboot boot.img.gz, followed by manually installing most
(but not all) of KDE from the Ubuntu repos. I've added the PPAs for Muon
experimental and xorg-edgers. The thing is near flawless.

Recently I received a ThinkPad X1 to replace that machine, and am following
the same route. Intentionally I've configured it for UEFI only and want to use
a GPT partition table; this is turning out to be a bit of a struggle because
my knowledge of these two is rather light at the moment. One bit I've noticed:
GRUB2 is probably too complex for this configuration, especially since I've no
need for dual-booting. ELILO looks to be a better choice.

I have been running 12.04 for about one month now and a few bugs - like
Dolphin not opening USB-drives in 'split view' mode - have been fixed.
But then again, first thing I do after installing is to remove
everything KDE-PIM related stuff, like Kmail, Kontact, Korganizer etc..
in order to prevent the disaster called Akonadi/Nepomuk/Soprano. That
done, 12.04 is really enjoyable - and fast!


Be aware though, that updates are coming in like hailstorms every few
hours - including kernel upgrades. Sometimes they demand removal of a
whole slew of packages - including important ones - so be careful! - If
you just wait a few hours, everything is dandy again. But then again,
nobody force you to update once things are OK...


All in all, the best distro to date.

All sounds good and I suspect 12.04 will be the focus for 4.8 improvements
and fine tuning.

For the current daily iso the ubiquity installer fails to launch. Will give
the alternate a go

Worked, looks good, very fast and slick with some quirks.

- muon repository editor doesn't work.

- a python prog segfaults on every startup

- Sound is very odd, inable until 80%, full volume at 90%, not linear at all
